Meet Skunk and Badger.
The first time Badger saw Skunk, he thought, 'puny'
and shut the front door.
There was simply too much slick in this Skunk's stripe. Too much
puff in his tail.
Also, there'd been that grin, and the way he'd
stuck out his paw as if he had been looking forward to meeting
Badger.
Badger knew what to make of that.
He shut the door before the fellow got any ideas . . .
But Skunk is Badger's new roommate, and there is nothing Badger
can do about it.
When Skunk bursts into Badger's life, everything Badger knows
is upended. Tails are flipped. The wrong animal is sprayed.
And why-oh-why are there so many chickens?
Skunk and Badger is a beautiful reminder that sometimes opposites
are destined to be the best of friends.
A book you'll want to read again and again, beautifully
illustrated throughout by Jon Klassen.

Abel is bound by his programming to obey her - even though her plan could result in his destruction. But Abel is no ordinary mech. He's a unique prototype, one with greater intelligence, skill and strength than any other. More than that, he has begun to develop emotions, a personality and even dreams. Noemi begins to realise that if Abel is less than human, he is more than a machine. If she destroys him, is it murder? And can a cold-blooded murder be redeemed by the protection of a world?
Stranded together in space, they go on a whirlwind adventure through Earth's various colony worlds, alongside the countless Vagabonds who have given up planetary life altogether and sail forever between the stars.
