Since 1983, Australian children have been captivated by the beloved story Possum Magic. Mem Fox’s delightful – and truly Australian – story has introduced many generations to Grandma Poss and young Hush, who has been made invisible by her grandmother’s special bush magic. Hush and Grandma Poss take readers on a journey through Australia’s capital cities, devouring many Australian delicacies in search for the magical ingredient to undo Grandma Poss’ spell.
Possum Magic is as much a celebration of the unique Australian animals and foods as it is a celebration of the bond of family and the imaginative possibilities the world has to offer.
The book was awarded the 1984 NSW Premier’s Literary Award and the 1994 Canberra’s Own Outstanding List Award. After more than 35 years of publication, Possum Magic is still striking a chord with new generations of Australian readers.

- Unique 50c coin features a special sculpted design of one of Julie Vivas’ beautiful illustrations
