Book Description
The flag was flapping, held high in the air by Ricky, as the ants rounded the corner of the barn on their new mission to save Rusty from the wrath of the queen. Ricky couldn't have been happier, after missing out on the last adventure because of his sore leg. Digger and Luna raced across the dirt behind the barn, along with their forty passengers. The rescuers were on their way to the expanse of the field and the forest beyond, which held the bleak colony of the Black Queen. The rabbit and the mouse kicked up a cloud of dust as they galloped toward the fence line encompassing the grassy meadow. The ants had become very familiar with the sights of the field, having spent so much time exploring it from the ground or in the air on their past adventures. While most of the ants had experienced the wild ride on the two critters, there were a few rookies, who spent as much time in the air as they did sitting down. The new recruits hung on for dear life, as they entered unfamiliar territory for the first time.

Pages : 201
Book Description
Leap of Faith It was late morning, the birds were singing and all but a few were still asleep. The colony had worked as hard as they played and the late night fun had taken its toll on everyone. The events of the day before were a huge success, with games and pageantry, along a few surprises thrown in. Digger, Luna and Cocoa had slept outside near the ponds and were joined by Amy, Austin, Ricky and Chord, who were the first of early risers. The cricket was very impressed by the ants. They were everything the rabbit had said they were. He was intrigued by their creative nature and fascinated with their determination. Id never been to a party like yours, until last night. I played so hard, and had so much fun, my legs are a little sore this morning, Chord admitted. Weve never had a party like that before, but I know what you mean. With all the running and dancing, my legs are tired too, Ricky replied. I may be the only one whos not exhausted. I guess its because I didnt have a dance partner, but my throat is a little dry from all my whistling, the rabbit shared. Digger told me you guys are looking for your queen, Chord said. We were, but weve got one now, Amy teased. What do you need a queen for? Youve already got everything you could possibly want. This might sound strange to you, but its the queen who needs us, Austin answered. Nothing is strange to me anymore, not after yesterday. I hadnt considered the queen needing you, but I see your point. We have a lot of knowledge to share, which would improve her colonies quality of life and possibly insure their survival. Every colony should have a queen and its the one thing we dont have, Austin explained. Ive seen ants along the creek and near the woods, several times, but I dont know where they come from, Chord admitted. Theyve crossed the meadow through my mushroom patch, too. I think the colony is somewhere along the fence line, Digger added. I appreciate all the information. We havent decided when well resume our search, but Im sure it will be in the very near future, Austin shared. The friends departed for home a short time later, before everyone else woke up. Life in the colony had changed forever. The city was as complete as it could be and the timetable of future projects was virtually nonexistent. They were proud of all they had accomplished in such a short time but now the challenge was missing for some of the educated ants. It wasnt that they were unhappy, for life had been good, but their desire had always been to find their queen. Having time on their hands gave them more thoughts about reaching that goal. They knew they had to resume their quest for a queen. They could feel the desire in their heart and soon, it would be time to leave again. The original nine ants met with Adam and James, in a private meeting away from the colony. It was their quest and they couldnt expect the rest of the colony to participate, since they hadnt missed having a queen and done quite well. This was personal and dear to their hearts. James would have to run the colony in their absence. Agnes was adamant about staying behind. She had experienced enough excitement for a lifetime just in reaching the barn and had no desire for the drama of a quest. She had everything she needed and wanted nothing more. Louise was still fulfilling her dream as a seamstress and there was definitely a need for her services. She wanted to go, but her heart was in her work. Christian wanted to stay where the food was. He didnt want to worry about his next meal. Besides, he couldnt think when he was hungry. Adam, on the other hand, wanted to go. Hed never been on a real adventure before and wanted to live it for himself, rather than hear the stories told through someone else. He begged his dad to let him go and James agreed, knowing

Uniting the five colonies was critical for the freedom fighters to overcome the dominance of the Black Queen. Standing together they had a chance to determine their own destiny, but apart there was little hope of escaping the tyranny of Casandras ghastly domination, and with Silver Citys queen lost in the storm, there was no one else who could convince the outlying colonies to stand against the two wicked sisters. The termite queen couldnt do it, since she was a natural born enemy and no other ant held a high enough rank to address such issues with ruling monarchs. Queen Amy had to be found before it was too late to prevent the looming annihilation of her colony or others and the freedom fighters were using every resource at their disposal to find out what happened to their influential queen, who was brave enough to defiantly stand against her own mother.

Pages : 182
Book Description
Queen Amy and the freedom fighters of Silver City knew it was only a matter of time before they'd be forced to faceoff against the overwhelming numbers of her mother's invading black army. Queen Cassandra's soldiers were slowly crossing the breadth of the grassland to meet their rivals on the field of battle and wipe out the impertinent threat, once and for all. The Black Queen's prior encounters with the upstart colony had challenged her authority and disrespected her status as territorial monarch, which was a matter of opinion between the two sides , leaving Amy's mother no other choice but to confront her daughter, face to face. The imminent invasion was all about power, control and covering up the deep dark secrets from the past. While the evil monarch had the larger force, capable of easily crushing her adversaries, Silver City's freedom fighters weren't about to go down quietly. They knew intelligence and a creative imagination were their strengths and using them to outsmart an overconfident black army was their only hope, but a good one. The colony had a few surprises waiting for their uninvited guests and allies who believed in their cause, which, with a little luck, could change the outcome in their favor.
