Leaving Richard's Valley (Hardcover)

When a group of outcasts have to leave the valley, how will they survive the toxicity of the big city!

Richard is a benevolent but tough leader. He oversees everything that happens in the valley, and everyone loves him for it. When Lyle the Raccoon becomes sick, his friends—Omar the Spider, Neville the Dog, and Ellie Squirrel—take matters into their own hands, breaking Richard’s strict rules. After Caroline Frog rats them out, they are immediately exiled from the only world they’ve ever known.

Michael DeForge’s Leaving Richard’s Valley expands from a bizarre hero’s quest into a deeply insightful exploration of community, cults of personality, and the condo-ization of cities. As this ragtag group makes their way into the "big city," they encounter noise-rockers, gentrification protesters, and squatters, forcing them to question who our cities are really for and how we survive in a capitalist society.
