Nobody's Friend

"Nobody’s Friend (But that’s not where it ends!)" contains five illustrated stories about the adventures of Perry, a cute pygmy-possum, and his friend Perky, a quirky quokka.

“Nobody's Friend”:  Perry the pygmy-possum wakes up after several weeks—which he calls his torpor-time—to find that the land where he lives has been cleared.  He’s all alone and he sets out to find a friend.  He meets Perky, the quokka.

“Perry's Promise”:  Perky's risky behaviour results in Perry solving the problem of lack of land and gum trees for the koalas.   

“Predicaments”: Perry and Perky face problems with a ship's cat while they’re on a cargo ship and prove themselves to be true-blue friends.  

“Perky Paves the Way”:  When Bree McRabbit and her mother order carrots for lunch on board a cruise ship travelling from Ireland to Perth, they are told there aren't any left.  Detective Inspector Buck O'Hare is called in to investigate and Perky paves the way for solving the case. 

“The Patients”:   Perry and Perky find themselves in a wildlife hospital following an accident.  While they’re recovering, they are invited to attend the school that the hospital had built so its young patients could keep up with their schoolwork.  Perry and Perky join in the conversation about kindness and teasing.
