The Shuffle Thumpus - Book 2: The Book of the Loose Skins

In the first book of the shuffle thumpus we find the thumpi living an idyllic existence in the Emerald Forest beneath the Tree of Life. After encountering the beautiful and magical unicorns they are captured by the dreaded loose skins and made to work the gold mines of Newtown. Geni, one of the thumpi leaders, becomes allies with a flying unicorn called Champion and a very unique rodent called King Rat. With these two and a group of thumpi rescuers they plot and execute a daring escape. All but one shuffle thumpus makes it to safety. Now they are on the run with the loose skins scouring the land looking for them.

Gabby, the last remaining shuffle thumpus sits in his prison in the Caves of Despair hoping his friends will rescue him. Each day he is taken, in chains, to the mountain to dig for gold. He works all day without rest, while the loose skins whip and beat him when his strength wanes. How will he survive?

What more can happen to our thumpi friends?
