Tom's Sausage Lion - Softcover

"Morpurgo writes with a fine mixture of clarity, depth and feeling" (The Sunday Times)

"One of today's greatest storytellers" (The Bookseller)

"There is often something of the traditional storyteller about Michael Morpurgo. As a reader, we feel part of an audience, spell-bound by the unfolding tale . . . one of the most confident and accomplished writers for children today" (Scotsman)

"Michael Morpurgo is a master of the first person narrative: when he embarks on a story he doesn't keep you waiting - he simply grips your hand and helps you on board" (Telling Tales)

'But it's true,' Tom shouted. 'It was a real lion, I know it was.'

Tom saw a lion stolling through the orchard with a string of sausages dangling from its mouth. He knows he saw the lion - if it was a REAL lion - but no-one will believe him. No-one, that is, except Clare, the cleverest girl in Tom's class. Why does Clare believe him? Because she knows something about Tom's story that no-one else does.

Together they come up with a daring plan to prove Tom is telling the truth. They decide to get some hard evidence - to capture the lion on camera - but somehow things don't turn out quite as they planned.
