Description

Meet the Marsupilamis in the first-ever early graphic novel based on the wildly popular mega brand that introduces readers to Twister, Hope, Punch, and their new family.

Get ready to swing into action with The Marsupilamis! This exciting original early-reader graphic novel features Twister, Hope, and Punch—three wild and lovable marsupilamis from the heart of the Palombian jungle—as they settle into their brand-new home with twins Jade and Mica.

The twins must keep their new marsup friends safe—and most importantly, a secret. Along the way, they’ll discover what it really means to be brave, kind, and part of a family. Because while some secrets are meant to be kept, others are meant to be shared with the people we trust and love the most.

Full of heart, humour, and high-energy adventure, this early graphic novel is perfect for independent readers and anyone looking for an exhilarating story featuring adorable mythical creatures!
