Boys in particular, looking for adventure will love this one. Short chapters coupled with some good-looking illustrations. As with The Gorilla Suit this title has been brought back into print by new children’s publisher Catnip.
There has been a real dearth of good books for the 5-7 year old market and it’s great this publisher is filling that gap.
I was born in New Zealand in 1956 and moved to Australia in 1978.
I wrote for fun for many years, especially while I was traveling overseas, and have probably written thousands of letters to family and friends (but never kept a diary – at least, not for any length of time).
Today my time is divided between teaching and writing, but much as I enjoy teaching, I do hope to eventually write almost full-time (I can’t imagine giving up teaching altogether!). I also speak at conferences, teach one-off workshops, visit schools (when I have time) and participate in events such as the MS Readathon and children’s book events.
