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
The powerful true story of how one woman turned outback dust into a diamond empire Within minutes of landing in Kununurra, Frauke Bolten had made up her mind to get on a plane back home to Germany. It was 1981 and the dusty frontier town was no place for a woman. However, Frauke stayed, determined to help her husband carve out a new life farming. Tragedy struck just three years later when Friedrich took his own life and she was left to raise their family alone. Twenty-six years after she sold her first necklace off the back porch, Kimberley Fine Diamonds in Kununurra is now home to one of the world’s largest collections of Argyle pink diamonds, with a client list that includes Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman. Frauke is credited for not only pioneering an industry, but for putting the tiny outback town and its precious diamonds on the map. A Diamond in the Dust is a tale of love and loss, hardship and heartache, but ultimately the inspiring story of how a young girl from Germany overcame tragedy to pioneer a diamond empire in one of the most unforgiving terrains on earth.
