Junior Fiction

Annabel, Again
(Walker Books, 2007)

Best friends aren't supposed to go away.
And if they do, they're most definitely not meant to come back!

Going For Broke
(Lightning Strikes, Walker Books, 2008)

Nathan Foley is desperate to break a world record. He's on a path to glory, on a rusty old bike, with a poor sense of balance.
What could go wrong?

The Big Dig
(Lightning Strikes, Walker Books, 2009)

Nathan's plan is brilliant.
Brilliant and simple.
Dig. Dig some more.
Put water in. Swim.
Professionals? Who needs 'em?
Measurements? Boring!
This pool is destined for greatness.
What could possibly go wrong?

Duck for a Day
(Walker Books, 2010)
 

“A duck?” Melanie pulled her feet up onto her chair. “You can’t have a class duck.”

Mrs Melvino raised her eyebrows. "Really?" she said. "And yet here he is."

The Truth About Penguins
(Walker Books, 2010)

Penguins?

Everybody knows penguins ... don't they?

Poetry
