The Adventures of Firebolt by Debbie Pearl and Brittany Nicole Lewis
Superhero stories make us believe in the greater good and always
inspire in us a desire to do better, scale new heights, be brave while also in
some ways feel safe and protected.
The Adventures of Firebolt by Debbie Pearl and Brittany
Nicole Lewis is a fascinating story about love, friendship and
self-discovery. Beautifully illustrated by Jack Foster the book is a fun story
about the adventures of a dog named Shelby.
Friendship resides in the unlikeliest places and lightly
introducing it to kids is this story of friendship between Shelby the dog and
Chester the cat.

The message that change is constant and it is all around us
is subtly brought out. As is the fact that we can easily cope with anything by
being strong and having friends by our side.
The story is a simple
one of Shelby’s transformation from a beloved family dog to a superhero. In this
entire journey of exploration she has her friend Chester the cat by her side.
Chester doesn’t just come up with helpful answers and words
of praise; he also stays up all night to make his best friend a gift of the most
essential item in every superheroes possession–the superhero costume.
This book is an introductory story that is focused on
friendship, self-discovery and bravery. These are going to be followed up by
many more such fun ‘furtastic’ stories
about Shelby the Firebolt and her friends Fast Eddie, Captain K9 and Aerostar
to name a few.
What brought more warmth and cheer to the soul is the story
behind the book. Brought out by Dream Fetchers Foundation with
support from the Lucy Pet Foundation, these books are based on Shelby the dog from the
hit film “A Dog’s Way Home” and her paw friends who have worked in the TV and
Movie industry. The aim of all these stories is to teach children “invisible
lessons” with stories that promote healing and well-being while bringing happiness
and comfort to children all over the world.
So thankful to get this ARC and to get to start
2020 with reading a feel good story about friendship, growth and bravery. Hope
you liked my fair and honest review.
Happy Reading :)
