What the team doesn't know is just how rampant this violence really is, and soon their exciting rescue missions turn shockingly dangerous and deadly.Will they succeed in saving the animals of the world from humans' brutality, or will they fall victim to the powerful system of abuse they're trying so desperately to end?Persimmon Takes On Humanity is the thrilling first book in the animal rights-themed YA series, The Enlightenment Adventures.
