Levi and Charlotte McAllister’s mother has died and been cremated, only to return to the family as a creature of flesh and fern from the wilderness where her ashes were scattered. It’s not so unusual, and she means no malice, you see many of the McAllister women have returned to visit their family after death, sporting the raiment of the natural world. She takes a shower, because ferns need lots of water, then after a few days their mother seeks out their estranged father only to spontaneously combust on his front lawn. So begins Charlotte and Levi’s grief. A grief that sees Charlotte flee to a wombat colony on the island’s south and Levi, fearing his sister’s own fate, embarks on a mission to build her a coffin so that she might never fear cremation and return. Join Andrew and Tess as they dive head first into the weirdly wonderful Flames!
