(The cover isn't final) In a city built on the promise that anyone can be anything, expectations can be the heaviest burden of all. Rose Wilde-Hopps has spent her entire life under the shadow of legends. The daughter of Zootopia's most unlikely heroes-former con-artist turned cop Nick Wilde and trailblazing Officer Judy Hopps-Rose grows up determined to be more than just their legacy. Brilliant, driven, and stubbornly compassionate, she storms through the ZPD Academy, graduating at the top of her class and proving she belongs on the badge she's earned. Her first assignment should have been routine. It isn't. A high-profile murder rocks the city, one that points toward a shadowy past the ZPD would rather forget. Rose is sent to track down Elias Dagger-a one-eyed military fox, a ghost from old wars and older secrets. Elias knows who the real killer is. He knows how to find them. But he'll only help Rose under one condition: when the truth is finally uncovered, he gets to be the one to pull the trigger. Caught between justice and vengeance, duty and mercy, Rose must decide what kind of officer-and what kind of Wilde-Hopps-she truly is. As the case unravels, so do the comforting myths of right and wrong, forcing Rose to confront the hardest lesson her parents never wanted to teach her: that doing the right thing doesn't always mean doing the clean thing. Sweet Child of Ours is a gripping Zootopia-set crime drama about legacy, love, and the cost of justice, where the future of the city rests on the choices of a new generation-and the line between hero and monster is thinner than anyone wants to admit.

After months of late-night patrols and city-wide chases, Nick Wilde and Judy Hopps find themselves standing at the edge of something new-not just in their partnership, but in their relationship. What began as banter between a con artist and a rookie cop has grown into something deeper, something neither of them is quite ready to name out loud. But Judy's birthday brings a turning point: an invitation to Bunnyburrow and a chance for Nick to meet her enormous, close-knit family for the first time. With a bouquet in paw and nerves he won't admit, Nick sets off on a weekend that promises hayrides, hoedowns, and one very important question-can a fox and a bunny truly belong together outside the safe bubble of Zootopia? As they journey into Judy's world of flannel shirts, watchful eyes, and relatives with strong opinions, both must confront their own insecurities and the unspoken fears that come with being the most unlikely couple in the meadow. And when a moment on the train sparks tension neither expected, Judy and Nick must decide: do they face the world together-or let the weight of "what will people think" pull them apart?
