Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. An Octopus who dreams of stars, a self-important fisherman who gets what's coming to him, and a misunderstood monster, Octopus Medicine is an invitation to adventure for the misfits, the lonely, the outsiders. These three verse stories call us down into another world--the world of the octopus--wher…e days are dark, everything is out to eat you and nothing is really what it seems. Written for young and old alike, this is a collection to be read at bedtime, to be acted out on playgrounds, to be shared with grandparents. In its mysterious way, the octopus has much to teach us. '.Beccis poetry is beautiful, heartbreaking, delicate and powerful at the same time, if I could bottle it I would, it would be the most magical potion ever.' - Laurie Bolger 'This books gift is its ability to reflect us back at ourselves; in its carefully crafted poems we can see our insecurities and our beauties. Moreover, by inviting us to read it together or alone, or both, it celebrates those things that make us different and heals the divisions between us it is a truly remarkable debut.' Claire Dyer 'These lyrical legends propel you into the depths of forgotten fantasies. They whirl you around your own imagination before spitting you out, soaked with stories worth sharing. With masterful poise Becci conjures the perfect mix of spellbinding images, epic narratives and violent verse. The result is electric. This book is for the bullies and the bullied. A must read for misfits. An oceanic adventure for the poetically inclined.' Sara Hirsch. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
