(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Roman Muradov. To raise money, George accepts a job at Wormestall Farm caring for unusual (and supposedly extinct or fantastical) animals. But when the new town taxidermist wants to stuff and mount all the animals, George and his compatriots must rally to protect the farm. Despite a simplistic plot and caricatured villains, the blend of lighthearted humor and brisk adventure is entertaining.
