By Simone Lia. 2020
Marcus is a worm, and a bird named Laurence who looks very much like a chicken is about to eat…

But even after talking his way out of being eaten, Marcus's troubles are just beginning: soon he is clinging to Laurence's neck as the designated navigator on an absurd journey to Kenya, where his feathered companion dreams of finding happiness with other flamingos like himself.
