The Nine Lives of Pinrut the Turnip Boy

Publisher Marketing: There was once a turnip. He was an ordinary turnip, one you'd pass by without noticing. He grew in a row of turnips, one of many rows of turnips in a field that was one of many fields of turnips. That's how ordinary this turnip was. Neither bigger, nor smaller, nor fatter, nor skinnier, nor longer, nor sweeter, nor more peppery: that's how he was. And he had company, as you can imagine, for there were lots like him-thousands in fact. One summer's evening this turnip up and left. He'd had enough. He pulled himself from the ground, turned upside down, and took off on his leafy stalks. He ambled along the row and out of the field. "Hey, you can't do that!" cried the other turnips. "Watch me," said the turnip. And watch him we will, through all nine lives: in America, Canada, China, New Zealand, New Guinea, Mars and Wobbles. Naturally he has a few adventures on the way, but his skills and savvy, indeed, his sheer existence, also come to the attention of the devilish boss of a nefarious GMO seed corporation called Nonsanto! Finally the vegetables and fruit from Willy Waldorf's Biodynamic Farm defeat the residents of Friendly Frankenstein's Field in a great and magnificent battle between the organics and the GMO's."The Nine Lives of Pinrut the Turnip Boy" is suitable for children from grade 3 to grade 5 or 6.
