Stuart Duffelmeyer and the Kingdom of Ratella - Stuart Duffelmeyer is back. This time, he faces the greatest challenge of his life. The evil ruler of a planet known as Ratromeda in the Andromeda Galaxy sends a giant meteorite through the corridors of the Milky Way Galaxy. Once the meteorite crashes into a landfill in New York City, thousands of rats from all five boroughs come to feed off it. The meteorite's radioactive materials fill their bodies, metamorphically transforming them into sub-human rat monsters. Rattabarlo, who is the sinister ruler of Ratromeda, has many more diabolical plans. He chooses a beautiful woman to lead the rat monsters. An evil spell is cast on her and she becomes a sub-human rat woman known as Ratella. She establishes her kingdom in underground New York City and rules with a wickedly iron fist. At the request of Rattabarlo, she is to take over New York City and the rest of the Earth. But not if Stuart has his way. Through the guidance of Rabbi Wedemeyer, Stuart and The Counsel of the Electrifying Eight must join forces to stop Ratella and her underground kingdom.
With powers concentrated into his magical talisman, he confronts the ugly faces of evil. The good of the upperworld meets the evil of the lower world. Only one world will prevail.
“The obvious premise is that evil villains on Earth have set themselves a quest to destroy all forms of life. The question is – can Stuart Duffelmeyer stop these evildoers from infiltrating the forms of good without becoming corrupt himself?” Asks Reynolds. “The answer is yes, he can fight these evil forces while retaining his good character. He’s perfectly flawed.”
Continuing, “The message for young readers is that life’s unconventional paths can often get you to the same destination, without risking your compassion. The other life lesson is that we all make mistakes, and we should embrace them rather than allow them to define us.”
Reynolds set himself a tough task when trying to fuse these life lessons into a genre typically associated with displays of violence and vengeance. However, it’s a message he feels humanity must hear.
“Quashing evil actually requires you to be very moralistic; something few accept. Each of the three books in the series is awash with lessons and situations that everyone will relate to. The vivid scenes and quirky dialogue make it a very fun read that will allow youngsters to enjoy an adventure without feeling they’re being preach to. However, by the time they turn the last page of book one, they’ll be much better prepared to face the world and prosper,” he adds.
