You’re Dropped!

lisa — Fri, 15 May 2009 03:17:31 +0000

This story deals with the trials and tribulations of young love: crushes, first dates, first kisses and getting the facts-of-life talk from Mum and Dad.

Fergus is growing up and so are his mates. Including Winona Williams, who Fergus has feelings for, he’s just not that sure what the feelings are all about.

This book will teach you exactly nothing about relationships and being new to them, but it will make you laugh.

Have you thought about what you’re going to do if you get dropped? What will you say? How will you act? Will you care? Of course you will (not)…

This book is about The hilarious stories about a boy, Fergus Kipper avoiding embarrassing parents, an annoying sister, and a grandpa who wants you to enter a bowls competition. A girl has invited Fergus to the movies and Fergus wants a new haircut.

The best thing about this book is The descriptive writing that cracks you up every time.

I didn’t like the way I couldn’t stop laughing for hours.

Girl Trap

lisa — Fri, 15 May 2009 02:27:40 +0000

Angus and his best friend, Billy, decide to do what they do best: stir up trouble! While Emily, Lisa and Frances are out, Angus and Billy go into Emily’s room and set all sorts of traps: they short-sheet the girls’ beds and put itching powder in their socks-and-undies drawer. But there’s an even bigger trap Billy has set without Angus’s approval—and it’s not going to be pretty!

Run, Kid, Run

Run, Kid, Run! is the first title in the new ABC Kids Fiction series. The fast moving plot and the short length (72pages), coupled with the cartoon illustrations by the talented Craig Smith, makes it very accessible to young readers, especially those making the transition from picture books and easy readers to longer chapter books or novels. The shape cut into the book, reflective of the ABC symbol, will be appealing to kids, echoing the bite in Aussiebites books, and making the series readily identifiable.

It’ s all good

Kind of a Boys Own journal about two boys playing dress-ups as bikies: the sort of thing most guys might like to do.

Awesome read.

With a brother like Clint, who always knows the right moves with the chicks—or thinks he does—Fergus doesn’t stand a chance. He’s not tall enough, old enough or macho enough, but maybe if he throws himself into sport, he can change that.

Tennis, ice skating, football, snogging—Andrew Daddo’s latest collection of stories will have you laughing out loud one minute and cringing with embarrassed recognition the next at the sorts of things we do to become ‘good sports’, both on and off the field.
