THE COPPERHEAD

THE COPPERHEAD

This is my new book, THE COPPERHEAD. It is one book of nine in a new series that is 'unapologetically Australian'. Check out the website for AUSSIE SCHOOL BOOKS at www.aussieschoolbooks.com.au . THE COPPERHEAD will be available in March 2007. The wonderful illustrations are by Tom Kurema.

THE COPPERHEAD is aimed at primary aged readers from seven to eleven years. You can order it, and others in the AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE series at the AUSSIE SCHOOL BOOKS website above. The book can also be ordered directly from Blake Education pH - 9558 4433.

THE COPPERHEAD is about a young girl who in tough circumstances must learn the lesson of 'stop think and do the right thing'. It is set in the Australian bush and Rachel likes nothing better than to go exploring for blue tongue lizards, spiders and scorpions. One day her brother takes things too far - he drags what he thinks is a blue tongue out of a hole, only the 'blue tongue' hasn't got legs. The angry snake bites Rachel's brother. Can she Stop and Think clearly enough to save her brother's life?
