"Deliciously wicked, 5 chef hats!' said fred's mum.
"Soup will never taste the same." Boris Scram
Stranded in a broken car next to a suburban park with his sick mother, the only good in SIMON's life is watching the possums dance along the overhead wires. When a small possum, GUMNUT, falls onto the car bonnet, Simon rescues it before it's snatched by BORIS SCRAM and WILBUR PUMMEL, the two manic local gardeners on their nightly possum hunt. Simon's invited into the world of possums where he discovers their true brilliance. Soon, he devises a plan to protect them but what Simon can't predict is whether the possums' courage, tenacity and craftiness will change him to discover a better future or devastate the local possum colony.
Possum Soup is an exquisite and daring adventure that addresses the enduring battle between wildlife and wild people, homelessness, single parenthood and one boy's remarkable courage. A must read for lovers of Kate Di Camillo's FLORA & ULYSSES and Roald Dahl's FANTASTIC MR FOX.
