A trio of raccoons (Scraps is definitely not a possum) plot a heist to take down a mean business owner who wastes too much food.

THE RACC PACK is a project that both Whitney and myself approached with lots of love and enthusiasm. Both for the heist genre as well as majestic trash creatures...creatures who are simply just doing their best. I hope that you love the Bins Family as much as we loved bringing them to life.
I promise to not be on this page, following reviews and what not—this is a safe space for y'all—but again, I hope this brings you some joy and hopefully some laughs! <3

This was a super cute kid’s graphic novel. The Racc Pack has a great cast of characters as well as wonderful and colorful illustrations. Kids are sure to enjoy following Dusty, ReRe, Scraps, and JB as they plan a dumpster heist. This was a really fun read that I think many people will enjoy.

This was so much fun! The humour in this book was great and definitely left me smiling. I'm Canadian and love that this was set in Toronto. There were so many cute jokes like how a coffee shop was named Tom Mortons instead of Tim Hortons 😂. Dusty, ReRe, and Scraps were each interesting in their own way and I loved how they each used their strengths to help with the heist. The other side characters were also very fun and I enjoyed how we got to see more of the animal community come together in the end. The illustrations were detailed and expressive and were a lot of fun to look at. The ending left an opening for a second volume which I'd love to read. I think this would be a great read for middle grade audiences who are trying to get more into reading, but I also think older readers would enjoy it as well! Plus who doesn't love raccoons? (And maybe an opossum 🤫)

This colorful romp of a heist seems straightforward on the surface, but it digs into food waste, "ugly" food, the plight of bodega cats and neighborhood strays, the importance of found family, and more. It's absolutely absurd and incredibly sharp. I loved reading this and I think Cooke and Gardner are the perfect creative duo to tackle the nuance of this story without losing sight of their core audience.
