Meet the Series

Three small dogs. Three very different personalities. One very large job.

ChiChi is white as snow and lives in a Vermont bookshop. Chance steals socks in the cedar forests of Washington. Redd patrols his farm in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina.

None of them knew the others existed — until an ancient voice called all three the same night, and they discovered they were the latest descendants of three old guardian houses, born to keep the balance between the human world and the wild one.

Now they have the bells. And when one of them rings, the others come.

The Shiba Force is a heartwarming illustrated adventure series for readers ages 7–10 — about three small dogs with three very different personalities, and the very large jobs they were quietly born to do. Each book brings a new threat to the country they love, a new place to travel, and a new chance for ChiChi, Chance, and Redd to remember, together, exactly who they are.

Book OneThe Forgetting — is available now. Book TwoThe Drifting — is available now. Book ThreeThe Returning — is coming soon.
