Parallax — Paul Williams

Danny Anderson -- and his friends, Gustave and Jennifer -- are the Animal Police. They uphold justice and protection for animals everywhere. Even though they're kids, and their exploits usually only get them in trouble. One day, on the run from bullies, Danny and his friends find themselves hiding in a cave. When they finally escape, everything seems…different. The people seem more observant, more diligent. And animals are being protected. Danny has always dreamed of a world with equal rights for all, including other species. He should be happy. Except something seems strange about this place. It isn't home. It isn't right. It's almost like an alternate world, a parallel dimension, crafted entirely to teach a singular lesson: Be careful what you wish for.
