I was searching through A&G the other day for Little Fur for my cousins, and came across a new Carmody book, that the book store only got in on Friday, apparently. It's a children's book called "The Wrong Thing", illustrated by Declan Lee, about a cat called Hurricane, who chases "the wrong thing" around the house one night, trying to figure out what it is.
It's an absolutely gorgeous book. I love the cat!

And what is 'the wrong thing'? Writing other books instead of finishing The Sending!   |

It is gorgeous, there's this one line in there where the cat thinks "Is it for cats? Is it for eating?" SOOOO cute. It's really a lovely book.

lol, i had just read this, and my sister came home from her job at the bookshop and said "There's this new Isobelle Carmody book out, and I LOVE it!" and I was like, "Is it called The Wrong Thing?" and she said yes and went on to obsess about it for a few minutes Oh, she's 20 years old, by the way, not some little kid. |

Blah, sorry if this has already been put up, but I haven't been on for a while ...

Yeh, in my Angus and Robertson Reading Circle Newsletter it said that the sequel to Little Fur- A Fox Called Sorrow is out (but on Dymocks it says it doesnt come out til the end of May) It's definitely out. I really should remember that not everyone works at a bookstore and knows these things already... I always forget to post here when something's due out. |
