Holy Cow

A rollicking, globe-trotting adventure with a twist: a four-legged heroine you won't soon forgetElsie Bovary is a cow, and a pretty happy one at that--her long, lazy  days are spent eating, napping, and chatting with her best friend,  Mallory. One night, Elsie and Mallory sneak out of their pasture; but  while Mallory is interested in flirting with the neighboring bulls,  Elsie finds herself drawn to the farmhouse. Through the window, she sees  the farmer's family gathered around a bright Box God--and what the Box  God reveals about something called an "industrial meat farm" shakes  Elsie's understanding of her world to its core.There's only one  solution: escape to a better, safer world. And so a motley crew is  formed: Elsie; Jerry--excuse me, Shalom--a cranky, Torah-reading pig who's  recently converted to Judaism; and Tom, a suave (in his own mind, at  least) turkey who can't fly, but who can work an iPhone with his beak. Toting stolen passports and slapdash human disguises, they head for the airport.Elsie is our wisecracking, pop-culture-reference-dropping, slyly  witty narrator; Tom--who does eventually learn to fly (sort of)--dispenses  psychiatric advice in a fake German accent; and Shalom, rejected by his adopted people in Jerusalem, ends up unexpectedly uniting Israelis and  Palestinians. In Holy Cow, David Duchovny's charismatic creatures point the way toward a mutual understanding and acceptance that the world desperately needs.
