If you can’t sit still or look like a sausage, if you’re not sharp enough or have lost your signature scent, if you don’t like pecking at crumbs or dream of the sky even though you can’t fly, and even if you’re outside the system or have fallen in with a bad crowd — welcome to the club of imperfect beasts who are different from the rest. In this collection of short stories, you’ll find wildly intense situations, predicaments that aren’t so easy to wriggle out of, and characters with just as many problems as you or Barsukot himself. Their stories prove that sometimes the hardest investigation of all is figuring out who you are! Whilst everyone else goes with the flow, these brave, headstrong young animals refuse to fit into the mould and are forging their own path, because young (and headstrong) animals have the right to be themselves.
