Quand Max, un labrador, parvient enfin à s’échapper de la clinique vétérinaire où il était soigné, il se rend compte que les humains ont déserté les lieux ! Et c'est partout pareil : des maisons vides et pas un homme en vue. Flanqué de Rocky, un teckel fûté mais trop gourmand, et de Gizmo, une petite yorkshire naïve au grand coeur, Max part à la recherche de Madame Curie, une vieille labrador clairvoyante. Elle seule, croit-il, pourra lui indiquer comment retrouver ses maîtres. Mais l’aventure ne sera pas de tout repos. Ensemble, les trois amis devront chercher leur nourriture, affronter une meute de loups, faire ami-ami avec une bande de chats ou encore déjouer les plans d’un gang de rats... Surtout, ils devront échapper à la Corporation, une redoutable secte de chiens qui veut créer une société autoritaire exclusivement canine. Les trois héros, pour s'en sortir, ne pourront compter que sur eux-mêmes. Sur leur courage, leur imagination, et leur amitié. « La Ferme des animaux version post-apocalyptique pour les jeunes lecteurs » ( Kirkus Reviews ) « Du suspense, de l’action, de l’humour... Ce premier tome d’une dystopie centrée sur les animaux offre une lecture au rythme endiablé. »(Booklist).
