Pippin and Peanut

Book excerpt: Pippin & Peanut is a story of what life would be like if you found yourself inadvertently transported into a computer with no clue if you could (or would) ever return to the "real" world. It is a fantasy that brings readers young and old into another dimension, and unwraps the mysteries of what might actually happen when one travels (literally!) within the World Wide Web. From E-Mail to websites and eventually to the heart of the computer itself, our hero (Pippin the Mouse) bravely endures his overwhelming experience, and manages to learn along the way the secrets behind the mystique of modern technology. He encounters a multitude of obscure animals with remarkable personalities who aid in guiding him along his way, and try to help him to reach his ultimate goal...his exit back into the place he started from. As with all harrowing situations, Pippin comes through his experience having lost a part of his essential self, but more importantly, has gained knowledge and insight and has learned the true meaning of "friendship", particularly with his best friend Peanut (a Yorkshire Terrier).
