Jack, a gray squirrel, is declaring war against the construction machines that have come to cut down his woods and destroy his nest. With the help of Collin, a boy he has befriended, Jack learns words and how to use simple machines like the wheel. He thinks he can stop the machines, if he can convince the other woodland animals to join him in the fight.

But as they take on the humans and their machines, people are noticing that Jack and his friends are smarter than ordinary forest animals. All of them are in more danger than they realize and now have to outsmart the scientists that are very interested int capturing them.

Based on school science curriculum, this book combines science and fantasy in a contemporary animal adventure story. Employing STEM/STEAM concepts, this book can be used to introduce the basics of simple machines, evolution, ecology, biology- all in a new way.
