Yes, some goats can talk. And some people can hear them.
Nan just found out that she can hear a goat named Cap--an odds-making goat with a penchant for handicapping races. He needs a ride.
The Scapegoats are converging on Kalispell for the accounting of the Goat Protocol and kid'll-eat-ivy-too if Cap won't make it.
Butt--get it? Butt?--the goats are not the only ones on the way to Kalispell and the Other Side is getting a little desperate to subvert a facilitator or two.
Can the goats and their good works clear the air, reunite a family, and finally make it to the Great Petting Zoo?
No Bl3@ting, Scapegoats is a meditation on good and evil mediated by talking goats, outsiders with Ideas, and Sophie--who may or may not actually be the personification of knowledge.
Unique, charming, and smartly written, this modern/ancient fantasy is filled with heart and wisdom. The Biblical Scapegoat story, a haunting tale of unearned moral burden is turned on its head, featuring talking, or rather, telepathic goats, who are able to communicate with a small group of human allies. The outcast goats meet up in Montana and organize, determined to bring balance to a world in need of clarity. This will lead the reader to laugh in turn while consider with the role of sacrifice vs. redemption.
