“The State of Emergency is yet another action-packed tale from The Adventures of Rug Bug series you don't want to miss out on. Moving at a blistering pace, author Kay M. Bates's intricate plot navigates through multiple twists and turns, keeping your eyes glued to the pages from start to finish… The characters are colorful and full of life, and they make every scene a joy to read. Recommend to preteens who love adventure stories.”

"Rug Bug and the Dixies are back with more heroics after a housequake devastates Mousetopia in Kay M. Bates' The Adventures of Rug Bug Vol. II: The State of Emergency. Rug Bug and his friends must negotiate a new alliance for aid and protection between the residents of the House in order to ensure their mutual survival, for a work of middle grade fiction that deftly and sensitively mirrors real-world events. Just as the first volume subtly touched on the need for representative government and clear-eyed ideals of leadership, this second installment focuses on the aftermath of a natural disaster in Mousetopia, and the many solutions and adjustments such calamities demand. Though the characters and setting may lean towards children's fiction, this entertaining book for young readers has real substance, with an empathetic and inspiring storyline."
