Back Cover
'But it's true,' Tom shouted. 'It was a real lion, I know it was.' Tom saw a lion stolling through the orchard with a string of sausages dangling from its mouth. He knows he saw the lion - if it was a REAL lion - but no-one will believe him. No-one, that is, except Clare, the cleverest girl in Tom's class. Why does Clare believe him? Because she knows something about Tom's story that no-one else does. Together they come up with a daring plan to prove Tom is telling the truth. They decide to get some hard evidence - to capture the lion on camera - but somehow things don't turn out quite as they planned.
