"Something is savaging the sheep on the moors... Only 14 year old Bill is determined to find out..."
A boy reads about the attacks of a unknown animal on livestock in the town. He plans to run his own investigation. The so called beast however is also used as a metaphor for every day problems the townsfolk face.
