What a gwaan Mangoose?'�Deep in the Caribbean jungle live some very strange buds - the Johncrows .�Jancro is charming and funny, and will do anything for a bowl of stew. But he also needs to get a job, stay out of trouble, and somehow find his forever. �As the full moon approaches along with the annual Johncrow masked ball, how will Jancro choose?� ��And what secrets are they all hiding anyway?�A brilliant reworking of the traditional Caribbean tale in a theatrical graphic novel�*Praise for Beverley Gordon*`Magic . Simply amazing!'`I wanted to saviour every word . relevant and thought provoking'`Hilarious'`Inspiring'`Packs a punch . I laughed aloud'About the author:�Beverley Gordon's love of storytelling began when she was growing up in the countryside. She would tell stories to her siblings at night when her grandmother was fast asleep, taking them on a rollercoaster of adventure with laughter or a fright. She is the author of five poetry collections and has contributed to several short story anthologies. Jancro is her sixth book. She lives in London. �Esther Caswell is an illustrator based in London. This is her first book.
