What would you do if you found an octopus in your bath?
Well, here's a story about the unlikely friendship between a girl and an octopus for newly independent readers, with fun illustrations. It all began when Etta decided to take a bath and realised she wasn't alone. On the floor lay a brown suitcase with Oswald written on it in fancy writing. And in the bath sat Oswald. Etta had never had an octopus in her bath before. Etta feels sure someone must be missing their octopus and is determined to return Oswald, but he seems a little less enthusiastic about leaving. And when a rude lady with a net and a stick turns up to claim him, Etta must decide where Oswald really belongs. Written by Zana Fraillon and illustrated by Andrew Joyner, it is published by Hachette Australia. To celebrate its release, we have 15 copies to give away. To enter, colour in the picture and then ask your parent or carer to take a photograph and email it to
