Book Description
Kipp Kindle, Tobias Treachery and Cymphany Chan live in Huggabie Falls, the weirdest town on Earth, so weirdness is pretty normal for them. But when unbelievably scary things start to happen, even Kipp, Tobias and Cymphany have trouble believing what’s going on. Why is everyone running away from their worst fears and where did those fears suddenly appear from? How can a dinosaur that doesn’t even exist be about to chomp Cymphany in two? And is the evil Felonious Dark reformed like he says he is, or is he the one behind the unbelievably scary happenings? With all the madcap humour and breakneck adventure of The Extremely Weird Thing that Happened in Huggabie Falls, this hilarious sequel will have young readers laughing out loud and asking for more. Adam Cece lives in Adelaide. His first book, Wesley Booth Super Sleuth, was published in 2015. In 2017, Adam won the Text Prize for Young Adult and Children’s Writing for The Extremely Weird Thing that Happened in Huggabie Falls. The Unbelievably Scary Thing that Happened in Huggabie Falls is the second book in the Huggabie Falls trilogy. ‘Wonderfully weird and lots of fun.’ Andy Griffiths, on The Extremely Weird Thing that Happened in Huggabie Falls ‘The Extremely Weird Thing that Happened in Huggabie Falls won the 2017 Text Prize, and it’s easy to see why: it’s a funny read, full of hijinks and adventure. Most of the humour comes from the narrator’s many deviations and asides that are reminiscent of authors such as Lemony Snicket or Pseudonymous Bosch.’ Books+Publishing ‘Cartoon-style illustrations by Andrew Weldon and frequent interpolations from the excitable author all add to the appeal of an inventive, engagingly offbeat tale.’ Adelaide Advertiser

Book Description
‘Wonderfully weird and lots of fun!’ Andy Griffiths Winner of the Text Prize for Young Adult and Children’s Writing Kipp Kindle always knew his family wasn't like other families. They were weird, in fact they were probably the weirdest family on Earth. It was just as well they lived in the town of Huggabie Falls, because Huggabie Falls was the weirdest place on Earth. On top of all the usual weird things that happened in Huggabie Falls, one day an extremely weird thing happened. It was by far the weirdest thing that ever happened anywhere. It was so weird that someone should write a book about it. In fact, somebody has, and you are reading it. Kipp Kindle and his friends Tobias Treachery and Cymphany Chan live in Huggabie Falls, the weirdest town on Earth. Weird things happen all the time—that’s normal. But when an extremely weird thing happens Kipp and his friends know that something is wrong. They embark on a fast-paced, action-packed, hilarious adventure to find out what is making everything turn normal, and to return the weirdness to Huggabie Falls. With an evil villain, Felonious Dark, a creepy scientist and a fierce wand-wielding teacher, who has turned Cymphany into a baby hippopotamus, to contend with, not to mention killer vampire bats, vegetarian piranhas and a Portuguese-speaking lab rat called Ralf, Kipp, Tobias and Cymphany have quite a task ahead of them. This is the first book in the Huggabie Falls trilogy, the funniest, craziest, weirdest series ever written, so far. Look out for Book 2: The Unbelievably Scary Thing that Happened in Huggabie Falls in October 2018. Adam Cece loves wondering about weird things, like, for instance, if you lived in space, in zero gravity, would there be any point in owning a piggy bank? So he wrote a book about a place where only weird things happen. Adam lives in Adelaide with his wife and two children. ‘The pages are packed with fun and action, and Cece manages to balance on the edge of clever-silliness...it’s a laugh out loud, quirky, rollicking read.’ CBCA Reading Time, Highly Recommended ‘The Extremely Weird Thing that Happened in Huggabie Falls won the 2017 Text Prize, and it’s easy to see why: it’s a funny read, full of hijinks and adventure. Most of the humour comes from the narrator’s many deviations and asides that are reminiscent of authors such as Lemony Snicket or Pseudonymous Bosch.’ Books+Publishing ‘Cherish the nonsense as the pages fly through your fingers...A rollercoaster of fun, friendship and madcap adventure.’ Kids Book Review ‘Young readers looking for a good belly laugh won’t be disappointed.’ Readings ‘Cartoon-style illustrations by Andrew Weldon and frequent interpolations from the excitable author all add to the appeal of an inventive, engagingly offbeat tale.’ Adelaide Advertiser ‘Adam Cece, author of Wesley Booth Super Sleuth, has delivered another engaging tale loaded with humour and nonsense. The reader would expect nothing less when contemplating the words of Cece’s dedication: "Embrace uniqueness. Cherish nonsense. Stay wonderful.”’ Magpies ‘A funny and weird book that features a humorous style similar to that of Andy Griffiths.’ StoryLinks ‘A delightfully eccentric and whimsical mystery adventure.’ Diva Booknerd

Book Description
From the bestselling author of The Girl from Munich, a sweeping, dramatic tale of love and identity, inspired by a true story. After enduring the horror of Nazi Germany and the chaos of postwar occupation, Lotte Drescher and her family arrive in Australia in 1956 full of hope for a new life. It’s a land of opportunity, where Lotte and her husband Erich dream of giving their children the future they have always wanted. After years of struggling to find their feet as New Australians, Erich turns his skill as a wood carver into a successful business and Lotte makes a career out of her lifelong passion, photography. The sacrifices they have made finally seem worth it until Erich’s role in the trade union movement threatens to have him branded a communist and endanger their family. Then darker shadows of the past reach out to them from Germany, a world and a lifetime away. As the Vietnam War looms, an unexpected visitor forces Lotte to a turning point. Her decision will change her life forever . . . and will finally show her the true meaning of home.

Tania Blanchard has written yet another spectacular novel. Don’t miss this.’ Better Reading ‘A sweeping, dramatic tale of love and identity.’ Fraser Coast Chronicle
