Be True to Your Heart!

Join us for this sweet launch for MARYROSE WOOD's newest middle grade title, Bad Badger! In this dear title, we'll meet a badger that, while he's content with his little life, he can't help but feel like there's something missing, something that would make him into who he truly should be. Is he a bad badger? MARYROSE WOOD will be in conversation with EMILY JENKINS, author of All the Best Dogs.

In Bad Badger by MARYROSE WOOD, Septimus is not good at being a badger. He adores the sunset. He dreams of going to Venice. And he lives alone in a charming cottage by the sea. He’s not unhappy with his tidy, solitary life, but there are times when being so bad at badgerdom makes him wonder if he’s even a badger at all.

When a gull of very few words lands on the windowsill, Septimus leaps at the possibility of friendship. However, his new confidant soon goes missing and Septimus is bereft. Determined to find his best — and only — friend, he ventures into new territory and encounters a cast of surprising characters. Can Septimus be as brave and bighearted as he’ll need to be to find Gully? Or is he really a bad badger after all?
