What to expect
From acclaimed middle grade author Maryrose Wood comes the heartwarming follow-up to Bad Badger: A Love Story.
As Septimus and Gully grow from friends into a family, they weather the challenges of parenting, managing unexpected guests, and navigating the parameters of friendship. To help raise a trio of gull chicks is a rare task for a badger, even a badger as unusual as Septimus.
With three spotted fluff balls underfoot, hiding in his phonograph, and pecking at his seashell collection, Septimus has his hands full. To be perfectly frank about it: living with chicks is a lot to get used to. Especially when Gully is off fishing all day while Septimus—Papa Septimus—is left in charge.
Just when it seems Septimus might get a bit of the bird–free, badger–only alone time he needs, a knock at the door brings a big surprise: eight visiting forest badgers! As the chicks take to burrowing underground and gobbling up worms with their new badger family, Gully worries they will never learn to take flight. Can Septimus find a way to give the chicks a proper liftoff? Or will their family fall apart instead?
Bad Badger: A Family Story is about stretching your wings and discovering what it means to be family—spots and all.
