Book Description:

Tag along with Wombat Smith, our cuddly, curious traveler, as he learns about new places, and about himself! These chapter books include black and white manga-inspired illustrations throughout.

Wombat Smith is the adopted member of a loving human family - but he only just recently realized he wasn't quite like them. Wondering if he really belongs with the Smiths, Wombat sets out to learn more about what he is - a marsupial. A trip to the library inspires him to travel to the wilds of Tasmania, where Wombat is sure to find other marsupials just like him, and maybe a new home. But frightening encounters with unfriendly farmers and Tasmanian devils make the countryside a dangerous place for a lone traveler. Will Wombat ever find out where he belongs?
