The Adventures of Lucky and Mr. Pickle

You don't know what you've got until you leave it behind.

The Great Escape, the third book in The Adventures of Lucky and Mr. Pickle series, closes out the first of three trilogies. Mr. Pickle has a scary experience at the vet, making him angry at Papa and Lucky. Shadow reminds him that they aren't his real family. He's adopted, and his real family is somewhere else. Shadow is shocked that her words prompt Mr. Pickle to run away and find them, kicking off a series of thrilling events. Once Lucky learns what's happened, he sets off alone to track down his little brother before he runs into danger or, worse, gets lost before the sun sets.

Will Mr. Pickle find his real family by the end of the story?

The Adventures of Lucky and Mr. Pickle: The Great Escape questions not only what makes a family but what makes a happy family. Where do you call home? Is there truly a difference between blood relatives and adopted ones? What makes a real family?
