Description of this Book
When is it right to do something wrong? Anna is a well-behaved and obedient child, who is horrified when she organizes a school trip to her mother's laboratory and discovers they experiment on live animals. A sheep is being held on the fourth floor of a secure building, away from all the things that make life good for a sheep - and he will be killed and dissected when her mother's experiment is finished. Sick at heart with what she now knows, she is further rocked to discover her father has his own secret. What follows is her way of dealing with her own moral dilemma - exciting, funny, poignant and probably illegal.

Author's Bio
Leonie Thorpe's inspiration comes from the Port Hills, which are steep enough to get her sweating so she can retire to one of the coffee shops in Lyttelton. Busy raising her three daughters, writing and very involved in the local community, Leonie's previous books include the 'Archie' stories.
