Badgers Are Go!

Lulu Whifferton-Rear is a young badger who loves to scamper about woodland glades, listen to birdsong and daydream. So she is rather taken aback when she’s summoned to the Rumpington Academy of Badgering to undergo specialist training, before embarking on a Top Secret mission to secure world peace.  

When she reports for duty, Lulu worries that she’s not like the other badgers, who are all terribly keen, efficient and competent. Nevertheless, she’s determined to give it her best shot. She discovers that, for many years, badgers have infiltrated the human world in the form of mechanical Badger-Operated Persons, or BOPs, in order to bypass human incompetence and Get Things Done.  

This particular mission involves the deployment of the British Prime Minister BOP, who must persuade all world leaders to sign a global declaration of peace. However, not everyone wants an end to war, and a dastardly double agent intends to use an unwitting Lulu to sabotage the peace deal. Can Lulu overcome her fears and use her imagination, tenacity and courage to save the day?  

Bursting with imaginative gadgets, exciting covert operations and entertaining characters, this hilarious chapter book features lively black-and-white illustrations, which add to the fun.
