The Survival Squad: Meerkat's Fall Freakout

By Marcy Pusey

Book 2 in the award-winning Survival Squad Series

It's a crisp fall day-perfect for jumping in leaf piles But something about the season has Meerkat on edge. Every rustle, smell, and shadow feels like danger. His survival brain is on high alert... and it's wearing the whole team out.

In this second book of The Survival Squad series, best-selling author and trauma-informed therapist Marcy Pusey brings back Owl, Meerkat, and Tiger to explore what happens when our brain's alarm system gets stuck in overdrive.

With vibrant art, relatable characters, and a gentle approach to big feelings, this story helps kids understand hypervigilance, anxiety, and how to come back to calm-with the help of good friends and a little brain-savvy teamwork.
