An award-winning, evocative book for younger readers by Lee Battersby and Amy Daoud.

Magrit lives in an abandoned cemetery. She is as forgotten as the tiny graveyard that surrounds her. One night a passing stork drops a strange bundle into the graveyard.

Master Puppet, her friend and advisor, tells her it is an awful, ugly, terrible thing and that she should get rid of it. But Magrit has other ideas … This wonderfully strange yet poignant story of accepting the truth about oneself is perfect for fans of Neil Gaiman and David Almond.

  • Winner of the 2017 ABDA Best Designed Children’s Fiction Book, a CBCA Notable Book, and 
  • Short-listed for the 2017 NSW Premier’s Literary Awards and the 2016 Aurealis Awards.

Lee Battersby

Lee lives in Mandurah, Western Australia, with his wife, writer Lyn Battersby and an increasingly weird mob of kids.

He’s been a stand-up comic, tennis coach, cartoonist, poet, and tax officer in previous times, and he currently works as Arts Officer for a local council, where he gets to play with artists all day. Magrit is his first novel with Walker Books Australia.
