The Quest of the Warrior Sheep - A Review

What do 5 rare breed sheep and a cell phone equal? 

"OHMYGRASS!" 

One crazy caper that kids' are gonna love.

After Sal is bonked on the head by a tossed cell phone, things for the sheep begin to get crazy - could this "mysterious object" be a sign from "Lord Aries" (the sheep of all Sheepdom) that he needs help?

The Warrior Sheep posse sets out to answer the call and soon find themselves on the journey of a lifetime.  However, a ride on a plane, train, boat, tunnel tube and a hike up a treacherous mountain aren't enough to dampen the Warrior Sheep's fleece or to stop the two bank robbers (whose cell phone contains all the evidence needed to put them away for a very long time). 

"A couple of woolbags aren't going to stand in their way, even if they have to chase them all over London."

This book is fun, adventureous, action packed and hilarious.  The writing is quick but subtle enough that your tweens will love the ride.
