Lord Morgan's Cannon

The stunning new novel for older children and young adults by leading science writer MJ Walker. The greatest circus story ever told. The anteater, elephant, budgie and pin monkey know of only one way to save their ruined circus. They must seek out Lord Morgan, and his huge new cannon, which can only be operated by the cleverest animals in all the world. The old leopard meanwhile, fancies taking a piece of Lord Morgan’s thighs... Lord Morgan’s Cannon is both an elegant and enchanting adventure story, and a powerfully original and poignant commentary on humanity’s view of animals, their intelligence and place in the world.
