Night Hunting
Ten-year-old Nick Tressider is all keyed up. At last his mum and dad think he's old enough to go possum-hunting at night with Rotorua Bill, a long-time mate of the family. Bill is a bit burpy, hairy and farty, and his jokes get him in trouble a lot with Nick's mum, sister Olivia and Aunt Kathy, but he tells the most fantastic stories and is a lot of fun to be around. Bill takes Nick tramping deep into the bush, where they lay out possum bait. Later on in a clearing Bill helps Nick to shoot his first rabbit, and then they sit watching the sun set and telling stories. It's the best evening of Nick's life. But when it's fully dark and they're on their way back in to the bush to collect the possums, something unthinkable happens - Bill falls down a bank and is badly injured by a rusty old gin trap. Will Nick be able find his way out of the dark bush in time to get help for his friend?
Lineage Book
Includes inclusive "Errata for the Linage book."
Yes
A humorous, sensitive and surprising view of our world through the eyes of Marty, a boy with autism who decides it's high time to join in. Marty Morgan is considered a loser; weird, different, the little kid who really thought he was going to be murdered when it was his turn to go to the 'murder house'. Definitely B-crowd material ... or, truth be told, D-crowd. Because although he attends a mainstream school, he's not mainstream: he has low-level autism. Puzzled by others' emotions, words and facial expressions, he has blended into the background, but now he decides it's time to take control of his destiny. It's time for him to 'man up', as his father would say. So when Luke Costigan, his one true friend - who is physically 'disabled' - wants to take part in the Young Enterprise Scheme, in spite of his misgivings, and past experience of Luke's grand plans, Marty (or M&M) to his friends, says YES. And that is just the beginning ... Ages: 12+
