I'm reviewing something a little different this week. Meet Marly, and Marly's Business, by Alice Pung, are middle-grade fiction (actually, I noticed on the publisher's website they are listed as 'historical' fiction - hmm... I realise 1983 was in the past, but 'historical'? I was around in 1983... makes me feel ancient!) These two books are … Continue reading #AWW2016 Review -‘Meet Marly’ and ‘Marly’s Business’ by Alice Pung

Young Writer’s Program
I am thrilled to say that my 6 year old son is joining in the Young Writer's Program this year.
