Cody And The Frack-Attack Pack

Whoever Thought Stopping Fracking Could Be So Doggone Fun?

Things are getting pretty "ruff" in old Timberton tonight...

Chesapuke NRG has targeted Timberton for its next round of foolhardy fracking. Their Heads of Business have dispatched the nefarious (and very warty) Chinny Finster (and his rotten henchmen) to convince the townsfolk to lease their land for their mineral rights. Chinny is planning one hell of a show (a razzmatazzy town meeting) to do just that.

But Cody, a frisky chocolate lab, and his pack of canine crusaders, have no intention of letting this environmental degradation defile their home. Now they must fight Chesapuke's propaganda machine with one of their own. Upon hearing of Chinny's upcoming sales presentation, our mutley crew whips up a sobering dose of counterprogramming for the audience. It's corporate propaganda vs community pupaganda! It's the brazen display of unconditional love needed to remind people their home is worth fighting for!

Over twenty-five handcrafted illustrations bring captivating visual accompaniment to the story's often surreal beats. In addition to a thorough Glossary and Bibliography, there are seven "Hard-as-a-Brick" Reality Essays to help Readers gain a deeper understanding of environmental issues (fracking, climate gentrification, lead poisoning, etc.).

Tim Stickle, author of Cody and the Frack-Attack Pack, received his Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications from Antioch College. Born in Toledo, Ohio, Tim developed an early love of Nature from spending so much of his childhood in the area's wealth of beautiful parks and nature preserves. Incensed by the massive amount of environmental abuse in the world, Tim channels his anger into positive projects as a creative dissident. When not hiking at Oak Openings, Hocking Hills, Cuyahoga Valley, and Our National Parks, Tim is a red-blooded cinephile and occasional filmmaker himself.
