It's unbearable... The bird's perch is swinging to and fro and hitting me on the nose. I can see my eye in its little mirror.

Unbearably weird... You have the foulest feet ever. There are flies for lunch. A goat swallows your opal. And you have lived before.

Paul Jennings has written over one hundred stories and has been voted favourite author over forty times by children in Australia, winning every children's choice award. The top-rating television series Round the Twist and Driven Crazy are based on a selection of his enormously popular short-story collections. In 1995 he was made a Member of the Order of Australia for services to children's literature and was awarded the prestigious Dromkeen Medal in 2001. Paul has sold more than 8 million books worldwide.

Stig Wemyss is Australiaโ€™s most loved audiobook narrator for children and young adults. He has lent his voice to the work of some of Australiaโ€™s most accomplished authors, including Andy Griffiths, Paul Jennings, Tim Winton, Marcus Zusak, Margaret Clarke and, most recently, Andrew Daddo. For the last three years he has been the recipient of the ABIA audiobook of the year award, including for the Trent Dalton's widely acclaimed debut novel Boy Swallows Universe. Stig has also written his own successful audiobook series entitled, The Tripp Diaries, which he narrates himself. His success and popularity have led him to develop a one-man comedy show for kids, Stig Live @ The Library, which he has performed in schools and libraries around Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.

Reviews

"A further collection of weird and wacky tales with surprise endings from Australia's best selling children's author. Packed with laughs, gasps and shocks, this will be a sure-fire hit with readers aged from 6 to sixty." "What a treat, an anthology of short stories bursting with wacky but likable characters and bizarre situations. A kid brings a flyswatter to the table on the night his dad's boss comes to dinner โ€“ the rest is just too revolting to reveal. A boy is grief-stricken when he thinks his dog killed his girlfriend's beloved parakeet. No situation slows or stumps Stig Wemyss. He can meet Jennings's challenges of both extremely corny and achingly poignant tales." "If you have a little one with an aversion to books and reading then I urge you to try him/her on any of Paul Jennings' short stories. They are delightful and fascinating - even an adult has to finish the story as each one has you hooked from the first sentence. All the ones I have read are funny, moving and refreshingly unpredictable and will appeal to boys and girls alike." Expand reviews
