This week, we’re offering three x 2-book packs containing AWC presenter Sue Whiting’s latest books for younger readers – middle grade story, The Book of Chance, and picture book, Good Question.
The Book of Chance:
Chance is in Year 7 and thinks she has it all – a loving mother, dog Tiges, best friend, and almost-sister next door. But when a reality TV team does a makeover of her house, she discovers newspaper cuttings from the past that cause her to question the world as she knows it and everyone in it. Then she finds herself caught between two realities, identities and worlds. Face-to-face with the truth, Chance has a very difficult decision to make, which almost splits her in two. This powerful story explores what is true and what is fake in today’s world. And while Chance is all about the truth, she ponders whether “Maybe being truthful was really just a big lie.”
Good Question:
Have you ever wondered why Henny Penny thought the sky was falling? Well, here’s a story that might just give you the answer. Told from Fox’s point of view, this magical tale links fairy story and nursery rhyme characters in a delightful, funny and quirky way. All Fox wants is a tasty meal to fill his hungry belly. But he keeps wandering into the WRONG stories. No dinner for him – just more trouble! Will Fox ever find the RIGHT story?
