Uncle Shawn and his best friend Badger Bill have defeated the villainous Dr P'Klawz. Their farm on the sunny side of Scotland seems peaceful at last, with their loyal llama companions by their side. Everything appears perfect after their last wild adventure. But Uncle Shawn knows better than to trust such calm moments. Something always goes sideways when you least expect it. The third installment in A.L. Kennedy's series brings back the beloved duo for another round of chaos and friendship. Costa Award winner Kennedy teams up again with illustrator Gemma Correll to deliver more of the wonderfully absurd adventures that have made Uncle Shawn and Bill favorites among young readers. The story balances silly humor with genuine warmth as the characters navigate whatever new predicament awaits them.
