Weslandia Summary

Weslandia by Paul Fleischman

A gloriously illustrated celebration of individualism from an award-winning author.

Wesley's an outcast from the civilization around him - he's not into pizza or football or haircuts. But during the summer holidays, he has a brilliant idea: he'll found a civilization of his own - in the back garden! From this seed a whole world grows and blooms - the extraordinary, imaginative world of Weslandia! Wesley creates his own food, clothing, shelter, games, language even, and gradually wins over the other children.

Weslandia Reviews

Humorously and sumptuously illustrated... Satirical, magical and inspiring. * The Sunday Times *
A great picture book... Huge fun. Oh, and thought-provoking too. * The Observer *
You can't do anything other than love this book. It's heroic! It's educational! It's ethical! And not only that, it's a delight to read. Marvellous, marvellous stuff. -- Jill Murphy * thebookbag.co.uk *

His books include the picture book City Circus (9780744573657) and the teen novel A Fate Worse Than Death (9781844286089).

Kevin Hawkes is the illustrator and author of a number of books for children including Library Lion (9780744598599), Me, All Alone, at the End of the World (9781406304824) and City Circus. He lives with his family on an island off the coast of Maine, USA.
