Garbage Night

By Jen Lee

Book Overview

In a barren and ransacked backyard, a dog named Simon lives with his two best friends: a raccoon and a deer. The unlikely gang spends their days looting the desolate supermarket and waiting for the return of the hallowed 'garbage night' - but week after week, the bins remain empty. While scavenging one day, the trio meet Barnaby - another abandoned dog who tells them about the 'other town' where humans are still rumored to live. Spurred on by hunger and the promise of food, the trio joins up with Barnaby and set off into the unknown...

With echoes of post-war, derelict places, Garbage Night explores how animals may internalize their changing environment and express their thoughts, fears and hopes.
