Description
Holy Cow! Elsie's Great Escape to the Sacred Land is an epic tale, about a young cow's life on her beloved farm, to her escape from the fate of death at a commercial farm, and finally her quest to find "Utopia." Mama Cow and Elsie have their whole worlds shattered when Farmer Ed, their gentle owner, is forced to sell his small farm to a commercial farmer because he is no longer able to compete with the commercial farms. They are taken from a place where they are loved and safe, to a place where they are lost in a sea of cows fated to become someone's meal. But through Mama Cow's sacrifice, the ultimate sacrifice a mother can make for a child, Elsie manages to escape her fate with the help of a young bull, Sonny. Elsie and Sonny then embark on a journey to find the great land in the east they have heard about, where cows are sacred and reign high. They are swept away on an adventure that at times is hilarious, heartbreaking, and death defying, but always keeps the reader in suspense. On their way they make friends with some unforgettable characters, such as, Scraggle and Haggle (the quirky crow brothers), Sir Ratselot (their faithful guide and companion) and White Paws (a complicated feline). They also come face to face with some characters they would rather forget, such as, The Captain (an abusive dictator) and his crew members. Every step of the way they are fearful of being caught and sent back to the commercial farm. Can they make it? Or will Mama Cow's sacrifice be in vain?
