For fans of Odder and Skunk and Badger comes a heartwarming story of an unlikely friendship between a terse seagull and a badger who is not very badgerish.

Septimus is not good at being a badger. He adores the sunset. He dreams of going to Venice. And he lives alone in a charming cottage by the sea. He's not unhappy with his tidy, solitary life, but there are times when being so bad at "badgerdom" makes him wonder if he's even a badger at all.

When a gull of very few words lands on the windowsill, Septimus leaps at the possibility of friendship. However, his new confidant soon goes missing and Septimus is bereft. Determined to find his best—and only—friend, he ventures into new territory and encounters a cast of surprising characters. Can Septimus be as brave and bighearted as he'll need to be to find Gully? Or is he really a bad badger after all?

Bad Badger is a young middle-grade novel about badgers, gulls, and learning that staying true to yourself means knowing who you are to begin with.

      English narrator Chris Devon provides a warm background while bringing to life the characters in this simple and compelling tale of friendship. While Septimus loves listening to opera in his cottage by the sea, he knows that he's a bad badger--and even questions whether he's a badger at all. For these reasons, he's both relieved and happy when a gull begins visiting him. The possibility of an actual friend is thrilling. However, Gully's disappearance opens up many questions and propels Septimus to look for answers. Devon provides character to the one-word seagull and infuses Septimus with emotions ranging from anxiety to joy. Listeners will appreciate this story of a developing friendship and the realistic bumps along the way. E.J.F. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine
