Meet Figley. He’s part possum, part cow, and part bird. He lives on the island of Mutasia, where everyone is a mixed-up mix of two or more different animals. When Figley accidentally breaks his friend’s prized possession, he tells a little white lie to pass the blame onto something else. But to keep his friends believing his tall tale, he’ll have to tell another lie, and another lie, and another! As his lies build and build, he’ll be forced into the grossest, most dangerous, most embarrassing misadventure ever. Maybe it would have been easier to tell the truth in the first place.
