Autumn & Snowflake 1 - Autumn & Snowflake, #1

The story of Autumn & Snowflake is set in a universe where all people are an anthropomorphic animal. There are no humans, though the roles of animals closely resemble those of humans in the real world. These animals walk on two legs, wear clothing, go to school, get jobs, live in an economy, and do everything else that humans in the real world would do. Their world is dominated by several different species-namely dogs, skunks, squirrels, kangaroos, and raccoons, among others.
In the country of Winsolslatria, there are systems that privilege dogs above other animals by means of specism-the judgment of someone based on their species.  Autumn & Snowflake tells the story of two best friends: Autumn the dog and Snowflake the half-dog / half-skunk. The two met when they were four and remain close their entire lives. Both are sensitive, introspective, kind, and loving boys. This first book follows their years in public high school and all the challenges and joys they experience-from the lowest lows to the highest highs and the simple joys of just being together.
