On Monday he’s a crocodile\, on Tuesday he’s a giant spider crab\, and on Wednesday he’s a bowling ball. But when he keeps hurting his chin\, Rory decides he better stop pretending and just be himself. The problem is\, he isn’t sure how to be a kid named Rory! \n  \nAbout the creators: \nDanny Katz is the author of many books for kids and adults\, including Spit the Dummy\, S.C.U.M\, The Poppa Platoon and the Little Lunch series.

He is best known as the Modern Guru in the Good Weekend magazine. Danny lives in Melbourne with his wife Mitch Vane\, a speckled dog named Specky\, and a badly-washed car. \nMitch Vane is a multi-disciplinary artist based in Melbourne. She divides her time between illustrating children’s books and developing art projects of her own. Mitch loves creating quirky\, humorous characters with watercolour and her scratchy dip pen and her distinctive\, energetic style can be seen in the wide variety of children’s books she has illustrated.

SUMMARY:Kate Grenville: A Mystery in 88 Letters
DESCRIPTION:Hear from one of the country’s most acclaimed authors\, Kate Grenville\, on her dazzling new work of non-fiction – a colonial-era cold case that’s part locked-room mystery\, part captivating exploration of a writer’s imagination navigating the blurred boundaries between fact and possibility. \nThe Country Schoolmaster: A Mystery in 88 Letters begins with the discovery of an unassuming bundle of letters in an archive. On closer inspection\, they reveal a complex and curious tale of victims\, villains and small-town secrets. Was schoolmaster Joseph Connor savagely beating the students in his care? Or was he the victim of a small-town vendetta? And what went so terribly wrong between him and his daughter? \nFearlessly grappling with complicated histories and the strange textures of the past\, Grenville once again reveals how great stories can emerge from unassuming archival fragments. Join her in conversation with Santilla Chingaipe as she lifts the lid on this fascinating true story.
