Description:

When Bobby's grandmother was thirteen, she and seven friends disappeared for a period of six days. No-one in town ever talks about this mystery but Bobby wants to know what happened then and if it was the reason why her grandmother always had a sad, faraway look in her eyes.
Red-haired, hot-tempered Bobby is an ultra-modern twelve-year-old girl from a Celtic background with ideas that could be described as alternative. Raised to be open-minded and confident by a single, working mother who holds angel card readings and is interested in New-Age beliefs, Bobby is fiercely independent in her own thinking and behaviour.
When she meets another home-schooler, David, who is from a big, highly educated Italian family and has been raised to have more conservative, mainstream beliefs and old-fashioned values, it is difficult to imagine how they could ever be friends. However, the do have something in common. David too has a mystery that he wants to solve about his own heritage.
Bobby is determined that she will solve the mystery of the missing children whether the wary David is prepared to be involved or not. But David does not have much choice.
With the help of a crystal ball possessing magical powers that Bobby has just stumbled across, the two are transported through a wormhole into another time dimension where they make startling discoveries, not only about their own ancestries but also about themselves.
Join them on an adventure where an evil workhouse and her orc slaves threaten to overrun the idyllic island paradise which has now become their new home.

Description:

'...and we will be like two stars circling about each other, drawn together - a double star...'
It's 1961 and life turns upside-down when 15-year-old Sandra and her family move to the city from their small country town. She's upset to leave behind her beloved piano teacher, her almost-boyfriend Nick Morgan, and especially best friend Emilia.
Heart-searching letters fly between the two girls as Sandra's ambition to be a concert pianist takes a new direction and she is overwhelmed by an unexpected and dangerous friendship.
"...a retro teenage romance with adulthood more than a shadowland on the fringes. Absorbing as a sequel to The Midnight Pianist, excellent as a book on its own." - David Brooks
Candida Baker on The Midnight Pianist - 'A delightful coming-of-age story about first love, teenage dreams and the courage to face reality... all told through a filter of beautiful music.'

Description:

The author of 'Better Out Than In' and 'Better Out Than In Number Twos' is back with a collection of random musings and drawings that will make kids laugh out loud. It includes Adam's wacky view of topics including 'Top 5 Dance Moves', 'Top 5 Super Powers' and 'Things That Look Cute But Will Scratch Your Eyes Out If You Try To Hug Them'. There's even a recipe for Roast Monkey Butt with Tofu and Apples (No monkeys were harmed in the making of this book though!).
It's random, it's weird and it's definitely hilarious! As Adam says, "Look, to be honest, it was just me rambling on about anything that popped into my head, and now there is a whole book of this random stuff! A WHOLE BOOK! THIS BOOK! OMG! Which means Oh My God. It doesn't mean, as I initially thought, Old Men Giggled. And LOL doesn't mean Lots Of Love! I found that out when someone died and I wrote to their wife and said, 'I hear that your husband died. I'm sorry. LOL.' It didn't go down too well."

Description:

A gentle, wise and old tree encourages a Sugar Glider to look for a new home before the mining comes. Scared and alone, the Sugar Glider starts looking for a new home, despite the fact it is daytime. The tree helps other animals too: A Rhinoceros Beetle climbs its branches and is blown away, far away from the mine site. A Cassowary, a flightless bird that is native to the tropical rainforests of North Eastern Australia, is also featured as a loyal friend to the tree.
The tree rustled its leaves thoughtfully. "Once, a long time ago when I was much smaller, another mine threatened us. Some caring humans chained themselves to my mother tree and they save the forest. Perhaps they will help us again."
Written as a protest against a proposed $1.2 billion bauxsite mine near the Steve Irwin Wildlife Reserve at the Cape York Peninsula, this chidren's book has eighteen vibrant illustrations of the rainforest and its animals.

Description:

The novella and two short stories here are all based on real-life personages.
Gamine, Ashe, Furry and Quark all graced my household for many long and fruitful years; while Tom was a resident of my home town and I heard rumours of his strange and improbable deliverance. There is also a tiny cameo appearance by Dougal and Shadow, whose biographies have been chronicled here.
I have mentioned in public appearances that I have some issues with feline fiction as it is commonly practised. While I love and adore cats and feel privileged indeed that they have shared their lives with me, I believe that the following rules for feline-fic should be adhered to:
1. Let the cats tell their own stories. We all enthuse to other cat-lovers about my beautiful cats and this is how they make me feel; but in fiction the human author should get out of the way and let cats be the centre of attention. Humans will generally be characters, but they should not hog the stage.
2. Cats are not small, furry humans. They are cats. Fictional cats should therefore think, feel and react like cats do.
3. The cat must not die at the end of the story. Yes, we get it. Eventually all cats become Rainbow Cats. Manipulating your readers' emotions by including The Sad Bit At The End is not respecting your audience, especially for younger readers. Don't do it!
I promise faithfully that the above rules have been followed in all my cat stories. Enjoy!
David Greagg

Description:

It was the Grand Final on Saturday. Carrot the Parrot was the Coach for the Birds' team. But he'd lost his voice. Sleuth Astrid had to find it, in time for the Grand Final because the team needed the Voice of the Coach. Was the Voice captured in the TV 'Footy' studio? Lost down his throat? Was a Voice Coach any use? What about the Speakeasy? Or the Voice-over on the TV Footy panel or on Talk-back? And then there's the Bird Wedding of the Year. Carrot was supposed to be the MC (Master of Ceremonies). As usual, Sleuth Astrid the Mind-Reading Chook, solves the problem.
