Bookroo's summary

A mischievous shepherd boy cries 'Wolf!' for fun, delighting in the villagers' frantic responses. But when a real threat emerges, his cries go unheard. Will his deceit cost him everything?

From the publisher

In this retelling of the classic Aesop’s fable, a bored shepherd boy thinks it’s fun to see the villagers run to help him when he cries, “Wolf!” However, the boy is lying. Find out what happens when the villagers no longer believe what the boy says, even when he’s telling the truth!
