Okapi Tale

Now that all animals have equal rights, and
the Phantastic Noodler is public property,
Beaston is the perfect place for pasta
parties. Creatures flock from far and wide to
transform string into spaghetti and pillows
into ravioli. But things take a turn when
a wealthy Okapi-talist sees an investment
opportunity. He cuts a deal with the Mayor,
buys the Noodler, and suddenly things
change for the worse. With privatization
come monopoly, exploitation, pollution, and
poverty. As for Noodlephant, she’s off in
Japan and China, slurping up ramen, soba,
and biang biang. What will Noodlephant’s
friends face as they struggle to regain their
town? Will Noodlephant ever return?
And how will Beaston resolve the age old
question: To whom does the Phantastic
Noodler belong? Read on for a tale of power,
politics, and of course … pasta!
