Pip: The Story of Olive
Author(s): Kim Kane
Olive Garnaut likes things in pairs. But even with her own perfectly symmetrical family, body and bedroom, Olive has only ever felt half. How incredible, then, that one day Pip should appear. She is everything Olive is not..
What happened to Olive wasn't because she'd only ever felt half. It didn't even happen because her house was full of crap-knacks and clutter, because she called her mother Mog, or because she knew of a man named William Peters Mustard Seed. It wasn't because she had a peculiar relationship with the number two, or because her skin was the exact colour of chicken loaf. Although there was never any doubt that it was a shake-it-all-about hokey-pokey of each one of these things, what happened to Olive couldn't have happened without Mathilda Graham.
