Benji Lee presents Garbage Night books one and two: a tale of friendship, trust and survival in a post-apocalyptic world.
In a barren and ransacked backyard, a dog named Simon lives with his two best friends: a raccoon and a deer. The unlikely gang spend their days looting and waiting for the return of the hallowed 'garbage night' - but week after week, the bins remain empty. When the gang are told of the 'other town', where humans are rumoured to live, the trio set off into the unknown. On their journey, the trio encounter a collective of their fellow animals who have control and live in semi-chaotic harmony. It doesn't take long for them to settle into the community, but something isn't quite right about their new allies, and the mystery of Black Thistle Acres begins to unravel feelings, truths, and secrets from every side. The real question is, will they continue their mission to the city? Or will someone get left behind?
A simple yet absorbing tale of friendship and survival in a postapocalyptic world. -- Publisher's Weekly, STARRED REVIEW
Contemporary fiction is full of postapocalyptic stories, but Lee's sly comic, about animals left behind after humans disappear, stands apart. -- Booklist, STARRED REVIEW
For older teens who enjoy a good post-apocalyptic roadtrip adventure, Garbage Night: The Complete Edition by Benji Lee might be just the ticket. Simon (a very good dog) and friends Cliff (a cheeky raccoon) and Reynard (a soft-spoken deer) have been waiting for humans to come back for a long time and food is running out. At times intense and quiet, and shot through with moments of humour, this graphic novel is a meditation on grit, self-reliance, power and friendship. -- Juliette Saumande * Exploring Our World Through the Magic of Books - Sunday Independent *
