Croakbag is a talking raven whose species is Corvus maximus intelligentissimus (the biggest, most intelligent crow!). Perilus is a charioteer trainee and Scorcha – well, he is a master charioteer. When Scorcha borrows his nasty neighbour’s goats for practicing for a race, he ends up in jail. This happens on the same day as his big race!
Who will save the day?
My favourite part is the bit when Scorcha crashes into the neighbour’s house. This book is quite funny and lots of people will like it.
