My new book, The Kid whose Mum kept Possums in her Bra will be launched on Wed 16th August at the Albany Library and on Sat 19th August at Westbooks in Perth. If you're in Perth or Albany please come along.

'Mum looked down. The possum's nose was peeking out from her bra. She laughed as the scritchy whiskers twitched back and forth. 'Stop it,' I hissed. 'You're embarrassing me!'

Mon is used to being embarrassed by her hippy mother, but when her mum smuggles a baby possum into the class pet show, it's the last straw!
