Welcome to your family’s next favorite fantasy adventure.

The Squad: Rising series releases June 16, 2025!

Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.

1 Timothy 4:12 (NIV)

The middle-grade Christian fantasy series you’ve searched for has arrived.

Hey, Readers! I’m Rachel Keith, a homeschooled Christian creative and author of The Squad: Rising.

In 2017, I created The Squad… and that was it. They were my new playthings to daydream about. Apart from that, I had little planned for them. But God had plans. Seven years later, my Squad evolved into my career, to give young readers a glimmer of hope and companionship in our dark world.

Join the adventures of an adopted family of anthropomorphic animals as they fight for their world’s freedom from slavery on a mission The Most High has called them into.

Rachel Keith and calico critter Tina!
