Hello Members of Promote Your Self-Published Book,

Every once in a while, a story comes along that lingers in your mind long after the final page The Great & the Small is one of those rare books.

At its heart is Ananda, a teen who carries grief and the weight of feeling like she doesn’t belong. Her unusual gift of connecting with animals isolates her even more until fate ties her path to Fin, a rat raised in the shadows of the city’s tunnels, desperate to prove his loyalty to a dangerous uncle. When their worlds collide, the story becomes one of survival, courage, and the search for light in the darkest places.

This isn’t just fantasy it’s a layered tale that weaves history, trauma, and the resilience of the human (and animal) spirit. It reminds us how empathy can bridge divides, and how even in the most unexpected alliances, hope can be found.

If your book club is looking for a thought-provoking read that sparks deep conversation about belonging, power, and healing, The Great & the Small will not disappoint. With its rich symbolism, unforgettable characters, and hauntingly beautiful storytelling, it offers more than a story it offers an experience.
