Don't Cross the Line! cover

" Don't Cross the Line is a perfect fit for the Gecko Press list: it’s comical and seemingly simple, but it tells more than one story." Julia Marshall, Publisher

A slapstick postmodern tale that is also a profound statement about dictatorship and peaceful revolution

The guard always follows the general's orders without question. This time, the order is that no one must cross the line! The right-hand page of this book must be kept blank for the general. As the crowd builds up on the border, the guard is under pressure. If no one is allowed onto the next page, what will happen to the story?

And then a ball bounces across the line . . .

This slapstick postmodern tale is also a profound statement about dictatorship and peaceful revolution, from an award-winning author/illustrator team.

"The takeaway is an important one: peaceful questioning of authority can lead to quiet revolution."—Kirkus Reviews
