This was a wildly imaginative take on the courtroom drama that engaged me completely in the legal back and forth as the animals sought justice for one of their own . . . Overall, The Animals v. Samuel Willis takes a concept that could easily turn into a frivolous children's book about animals on a farm and gives it a decidedly mature spin with a considered and astute message about due process and the needs of a community recovering from oppression. - Readers' Favorite
A new day has dawned in Plum Grove - the animals have been liberated.
But, there's still some unfinished business.
When a downtrodden dairy cow meets a mysterious end behind the walls of Farmer Willis' old red barn, the animals demand justice. In a rustic courtroom brimming with humans and barnyard creatures, the maverick rooster, Millard P. Tibbitts, brings a charge of murder against Farmer Willis that could send him to the gallows.
Somewhere in the tales of a peculiar collection of witnesses - including a senile farm dog, a steadfast donkey, and the beleaguered farmer himself - hides the truth. But in order to find it, Tibbitts will need to outwit his opponent, the wily feline, Cyrus Sutton.
When the jury warbles its final verdict, will justice be served or will the shadows of the old ways haunt Plum Grove forever?
