The Road to Somewhere Book

The Road to Somewhere tells the story of Cow (a cow, believe it or not) who is perfectly happy with her life on the farm until the day she realises that she is destined to take a trip in the truck to never-come-back. Ratty (a rat) decides to take matters into his own hands and plots her escape. They are joined on the road to Somewhere by Woolly (a particularly tough and ferocious lamb who is as reluctant to be turned into a casserole as Cow is) and together the odd trio make their way towards a kind of freedom.Written from the point of view of Ratty whose own words recount the tale of this great escape, author Helen Armstrong cleverly takes us straight to the very soul of the three courageous friends, and brings us a heart-warming, humorous, thought-provoking animal's-eye view of life--both in the context of the farmyard and on the open road--that is truly unforgettable.The Road to Somewhere is a refreshing treat, and perfect for anyone who enjoys quirky, edgy and unusual fiction. This little gem combines superlative storytelling with an unforgettable magic brought to life with a warmth and style that makes it just about ideal for either reading aloud or for confident young readers to enjoy on their own.
