Russell’s father was a wildlife ranger, so Russell knew all about looking after Joeys. But nothing could have prepared Russell for this Super Joey. Who will end up with Super Joey: Russell’s family? The zoo? Researchers at the university? Or two unlikely criminals who see ‘money on legs’? One Cool Kangaroo is a wild read about a wild kangaroo. At a deeper level it is about responsible care, fame and exploitation.
