Bookroo's summary

In a world where order reigns supreme, a graceful gnu and a clumsy guru embark on a whimsical journey led by a mouse. Their destination? The pristine Behind-the-Beyond, where every speck of chaos is banished. As they navigate this peculiar realm, will they conform to its rigid rules or disrupt its perfect harmony? Discover the unexpected twists that await in this tale of adventure and discovery.

From the publisher

A graceful gnu and an ungraceful guru follow a mouse to the disgustingly neat Behind-the-Beyond where order is everything.
