2016 Award Finalist - Travel Non-Fiction - Readers' Favorite Awards

"Terrific." (Bill Bryson, author of Notes from a Small Island)

Ten years after returning from the New Zealand outback, Jon receives a mysterious manuscript in the post. Narrated by Jon's former home, the lone caravan, Squashed Possums reveals what it's like to live in the wild through four seasons, including New Zealand's coldest winter in decades.

Discover how Jon finds himself reversing off the edge of a cliff, meet the Maori chef who survived 9/11, the pioneers who paved the way, and catch sight of the elusive kiwi bird. Encounter hedgehogs that fly, possums that scream, and perhaps most importantly, the lone caravan with a story to tell....

"I thoroughly enjoyed it! What an interesting story." (Dr. Jock Phillips, NZ historian and author)

“The caravan narrator - yes, a first. May it sell in the millions.” (Giles Milton, author of White Gold and Nathaniel's Nutmeg)
