Resumen del Editor

When an evil king threatens the destruction of Zintaurus, one dog, Kaytaiya, must undertake a heroic quest. But not in her own dog body! Magically transformed by the exiled Queen Ravenna into the body of a cat, she is sent to find the Little Plane that holds the key to the survival of her homeland, and bring it back by train. But everyone she encounters has problems of their own and needs her support. The train, Joe, must have his will restored, having fallen under the spell of the mind-numbing weed, false bliss blossom. The plane is in deep despair, having been involved in a tragic accident, and has lost the ability to fly. Freckles, the mysterious one-armed dog sent to help the travelers, is socially isolated and in need of a friend.

“Rescuing Zintaurus” is a magical musical play for middle grades that the Chicago Tribune raved, “well worth a listen” and the Hyde Park Herald called, “charming…it should delight adults, too.” Through the writing of psychiatrist Bob Druker, ably assisted by acclaimed Chicago songwriter Steve Dawson, there is much to learn about depression, substance abuse, trauma, loss and healing. A final dramatic confrontation awaits in Zintaurus between the forces of good and evil. Can good prevail? Yes, if the travelers can overcome their individual post traumatic problems. Otherwise, Zintaurus and its Rock of Truth and the very concept of Truth itself will be no more.

Overcoming trauma is one of the most timely issues at this moment in history. And Druker argues that it is intimately related to another very timely issue, the defending of individual truth within ourselves, and in the world at large.
