An injured (and gassy) goose has crashed onto the Worthington estate, and no one cares except for young Valeria. That all changes when the bird starts laying solid-gold eggs! But as soon as the Worthingtons try to force the goose to lay a fortune, the egg comes out totally ROTTEN. Can Val help her feathered friend escape before the greedy family tries something extreme? In this Far Out Fables adventure, Aesop's "The Goose that Laid the Golden Egg" is retold with a modern twist to create an exciting graphic novel for kids!
