Learn moreRoy's tiny breaths sounded like milkshake fighting its way up a very thin straw. His eyes were closed. 'Rory,' I said. 'Don't die. Don't die.' His eyes fell open. They flicked wildly around. 'The goat,' he shouted. I didn't bother looking behind me. I knew there was no goat. And I knew Rory wasn't dying. Not yet. It's WICKED! It's the end. But you'll never forget it.
Morris Gleitzman grew up in England and came to Australia when he was 16. He was a frozen-chicken thawer, sugar-mill rolling-stock unhooker, fashion-industry trainee, student, department-store Santa, TV producer, newspaper columnist and screenwriter. Then he had a wonderful experience. He wrote a novel for young people. Now, after 42 books, heโs an internationally bestselling childrenโs author. In 2018 and 2019 he was the Australian Childrenโs Laureate.
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.
