Description

Whetu is about to start school, and no one is happy. Not the chicken. Not the bull. Especially not Ramses the golden ram, who disappears. Tori the Cat guides Whetu on a rescue mission. They travel by starbeams to zany worlds and end up on a planet run by an evil magician who gets his power by draining the magic from animals. However, Whetu's taniko (woven friendship bracelet) and a head-butting Ramses are no match for the evil sorcerer.
