Tiger Takes the Big Apple
About this ebook
Earth is under threat by starships from a distant galaxy sent to
destroy humanity before its pollution can spread to other planets.
Mick of the Min-Min is in fact Commander of the Abell 2218 strike force. Vanquished by the Kangaroo at the end of Tiger Tames the Min Min, Mick and his robots retreat to the outer reaches of the solar system to plan a new all-out assault on Earth.
Tiger the Cat, Wanda the Blue Tongue, Number
12 the racing camel and Syd the dizzy crow team up with Prince, Eudora
and Tark, extraterrestrials in disguise, and other species – as well as
President Obama and Madonna to head off the confrontation over the skies
of New York City (the Big Apple).
On their way to New York, they sign up other
species to Project Earth-mend like polar bears, timber wolves, beavers,
bats, and even the national emblem of the USA, the Bald Eagle.
Before the battle, the Team makes their case
at United Nations for unity among all living beings, but will it be too
late to defend the planet? Will we pay the ultimate price for ignoring
Climate Change?
