Surrender - Book 2

By: Chris Baum

Narrated by: Andy McCain

Surrender can mean many things to many people, even animals. In this fictional story, a fairy-tale satire about a Sasquatch (Bigfoot) named PoBo, we learn what it can mean on many different levels. On one level, he is displaced from his family at a young age amid a war initiated by humans. But with an unyielding spirit to be reunited with his kin - and with music being his best motivator, at least at first - the hairy bachelor decides to set off on a dangerous quest to find them.

He knows the journey will be fraught with danger because he knows he and his family are on the endangered list - a constant struggle to survive. But like an adage he once read in a book, “nothing ventured, nothing gained,” he is steadfast to not give up on his goal.

Fortunately, and unexpectedly, he gets some assistance from two animals, one of whom is far bigger in his faith than his physical size. PoBo encounters many obstacles along the way, and his own faith is tested repeatedly as time runs out to fulfill his quest. What he at first thinks is the true meaning of his journey becomes redefined as a desperate yearning to achieve three things: Faith, family, and love.

When we’re broken and we realize we are not in complete control, it’s time to surrender.

meaning and purpose found

I liked the comraderie and acceptance among the trio. The stories and banter were enjoyable and entertaining. Impactful for all ages and peoples. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a great job with voices and expressions.

Hilarious!!

Very funny! A joy to listen to. Narrator does a great job with the different characters.

Pobo and the gang are a hoot!

Loved listening to this story! Narrator did a fantastic job separating each character as their own voice, which really helped the experience.

Fun Listen!

Great narration with fun characters! Good as a stand-alone or part of the series.

Epic new adventures

This book chronicles an unlikely motley group of characters by the names of PoBo (an intelligent Sasquatch), Jake ( a slick New York City rat), and Petey (a not all there parrot) on a journey that will test their faith and survival skills. I loved this well written book it was descriptive, funny, adventurous with a touch of religion. The friendship may be strange but the bonds are strong and well developed throughout the story. I do not recommend this book for kids unless listen to with an adult. I do highly recommend this story to anyone else who may be a little low on faith. I absolutely loved this book and this is my honest unbiased review.
