Possum Tragic: A Tale of Pumpkins and Plastic

Where does Halloween come from? Where does it all go? And who goes with it?

A curly tale of invasion and dispossession, possums and plastic, spooks, kooks, sugar and murder. There’s lots to explore here at the intersection of local wildlife and global culture. Rhyming text revels in the musicality of speech. illustrations are spookily beautiful and beautifully spooky. ‘this book will get kids talking!’
