The Rebels of the Blue City

Content : After fleeing her village, ravaged by wolves, and finding refuge in the Blue City, 16-year-old Lin thought she was finally safe… But she hadn’t counted on the election of a new hare mayor, Alistair Grégor, who constantly sows discord between hares and rabbits.

Soon, he enacts discriminatory measures against the rabbits and refugees, overstepping the Constitution. A totalitarian municipal regime takes hold, backed by the police. Lin will not stand idly by. She joins the resistance with her classmates—Nando, Calumet, and Léo. Together, hares and rabbits will fight to awaken consciences. Will they succeed in restoring peace to the city?

This book tackles political themes far more strikingly than a story with human characters could. It is a story with educational value, helping readers understand the essence of totalitarianism and democracy.
Lin embodies the voiceless, confronting a system dominated by hares while facing growing restrictions reminiscent of a dark era. She and her classmates organize a resistance, taking action to protect the vulnerable and awaken the population, sending a powerful message that true power lies with the people.
A light touch of romance between Lin and Nando adds warmth to the story, while their hare-rabbit pairing symbolizes coexistence between two populations.
David Moit, author of The Handle’s Files and New Earth Project, delivers an ambitious, suspenseful tale full of political intrigue and constant surprises that keep readers enthralled.
