The Reincarnation of Tom

Tom was a daydreaming office schlub. What will he be like as a chicken, cow, tiger, tree and Austrian art teacher from 1896?
Napoleon was a pig with dreams of revolution. What will he be like as Joseph Stalin?
Shirley was a zoo keeper with a big heart and a weakness for helping others. When will she learn?
Sal was a cop. Then a cop. Then a cop several times after that. What will he be like as the leader of a coalition sworn to hunt Tom for the rest of his lives?

"Simpson's prose adroitly wields deadpan comedy... A wild ride on a picaresque path to some kind of wisdom." --Kirkus Reviews
