The Book Trailer for the super hero comedy series - "THE HERD"! In an anthropomorphic world, a family of foxes and their friends find their superpowers and problems at the bottom of a bottle of contaminated fruit juice. This comedic adventure kicks off with an act of sabotage by a disgruntled employee at Foxy Fruits, a prominent fruit juice company in Maple City. The employee's malicious act of introducing a secret formula into the juice production line unwittingly unleashes a city-wide supernatural pandemic, transforming ordinary citizens into beings with bizarre and uncontrollable powers. At the heart of this crisis is Fox Canidae, the beleaguered CEO of Foxy Fruits, who finds himself facing not just a corporate nightmare but a threat to the very fabric of Maple City. With his company's reputation and the city's safety at stake, Fox assembles an amateur team of heroes, dubbed "The Herd," to counter the chaos and prevent the superpowered pandemic from breaching the city's borders.

From dramatic escapes and kidnappings to internal conflicts and the threat of an ever-expanding pandemic, the series weaves a tale of heroism, family, and the quest to do right in the face of overwhelming odds. With its all-ages appeal, "The Herd" offers a vibrant, action-packed, and humor-filled reading experience, inviting readers to #followtheherd through twists, turns, and an array of pop culture nods, ensuring an engaging journey for both young readers and adults alike.
