I’m delighted to announce that my newest book, Claude and Medea: The Hellburn Dogs, is out. The first in a children’s series for 8-12 year olds, Claude and Medea become clandestine activists in New York City and solve the mystery of a rash of Manhattan dog thefts. In future books, Claude and Medea will rescue slave children from a garment district sweatshop and stop a polluting factory from belching out toxins in a Harlem neighborhood.

I consider myself to be an old soul and child rolled into one, and “Claude And Media: The Hellburn Dogs” brought the adventurous, page-turning zeal I had experienced so often reading books during my childhood years. It’s the humane version of Harry Potter books!
Zoe Weil is a stellar writer and has made an enormous and desperately needed contribution to
children’s literature.
THANK YOU!

You would find me at my computer every Sunday last summer awaiting the continuation of this story – I would anxiously await each new chapter to be unveiled! This is such a wonderful book! I just received the “hard copy” in the mail and can’t wait to put it to good use.
Thank you for yet another inspiring addition to your ever growing list of outstanding literature.
When I began reading this book I could not put it down. It is a beautiful story, that weaves together issues of race,environment, animal protection, and befriending those who are different from us. It is a beautiful book for young readers, inspiring them to know that no matter how old they are, they can make a difference. Zoe is an amazing writer and i would recommend this book to anyone. It brings humane education to every child.
Zoe, thank you for writing this book!
