The Bushfire Brumby

THE BUSHFIRE BRUMBY. Aussie School books will be bringing out another of my books in the Aussie Aussie Aussie series in January 2008. THE BUSHFIRE BRUMBY is again set at Roger's farm, with the characters of Rachel, Tim and Roger returning for another action packed adventure.

Review - 'fast paced real Aussie book'

Review - Pass It On (April, 2007)
"Delwyne's contribution to the Aussie School Books series has a little bit of everything. A not so average Rachel who loves spiders and blue tongue lizards. Big brother Roger's farm where Rachel can do no harm and younger brother Tim - who manages to get himself into some big trouble. The Copperhead is a fast paced, real Aussie book for children aged 7-10. Simple to read with some good messages about stopping, thinking and doing the right thing."

Review - primary teacher 'thoroughly recommends' The Copperhead

Review for THE COPPERHEAD March, 2007

"As a Primary Teacher I read Delwyne's book "The Copperhead" to three groups of grade 3 and 4 pupils. They all thoroughly enjoyed the story and wanted to know where they could purchase the book. They enjoyed the suspense, the Australian theme and many commented about learning more about our lizards, snakes and Australian wildlife, and they loved having a boy and a girl in the story.

One student's comment was "I liked everything about the book".

I could thoroughly recommend "The Copperhead" for all primary aged students."

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?
