The Lords of Melody
The Lord family live in the worst house on the best street. It might have been different if Suzi Lord''s rock ''n'' roll parents, Strum and Miss Katy, hadn''t stumbled on their way to stardom but after one hit single in Finland, it''s been Lentil Slop Thing for dinner ever since. But life is about to get a lot more interesting at 92 Melody Street. Renting out their spare room on ZedBedZ seemed like a good idea but with the ghost of a grumpy drummer, a long-lost grandfather as their first guest, angry opposition from a residents action group, AND a broken leg in the first practice match of the soccer season, Suzi ain''t havin'' much of a rockin'' good time. Then she dares to pick up a set of drum sticks and things really get wild. With the driving beat of a rock anthem, the heart of a country ballad, and the vibe of the latest hip-hop hit, this hilarious mash-up proves that you just can''t stop the music!

Stuff Happens: Michael

release date: Aug 27, 2014
Stuff Happens: Michael
Stuff Happens is an important new series for boys about everyday challenges. Created by Susannah McFarlane, the series editor, the series is written by established authors Tony Wilson, Andrew Daddo, Philip Gwynne, Will Kostakis, Scot Gardner, Justin D''Ath, James Roy, Pat Flynn and Alex McDiarmid. Each book features a different character and follows them as they overcome a particular everyday challenge. Aimed at boys aged between 7 and 11, the Stuff Happens series explores those everyday struggles in life that boys can sometimes be reluctant to express: quarrels with mates, a bad day at school, fear of disappointing mum and dad, rejection and not fitting in. Stuff Happens. Real-life stories for boys. Suitable for beginner and newly confident readers. Stuff happens sometimes. Everyday stuff. At school, at home, with sport, with mates. For Michael it happened when he thought he was letting his parents down. Michael is the best swimmer in the school, probably the state, maybe the country. He trains all the time, determined to do his best for himself, for the coach, for his parents, for everyone. Then one day he sees a skater fly down the hill on a board and he starts to wonder if there is more to life than swimming. http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/special-features/books-for-boys-series-stuff-happens-helps-show-boys-how-to-deal-with-their-emotions/story-fni3wj64-1227246165147 Praise for Stuff Happens ''Stories about boys, aimed at boys and containing real-life stories of their school and home life are rare. Even rarer are those that have readily identifiable characters and situations, and engage, amuse and inform. But here they are.'' ''An exciting new series written specifically for boys aged from seven to eleven . . . great additions for school libraries and for engaging reluctant boy readers. Outstanding!'' Read Plus ''The fantastic Stuff Happens series.'' reviewZOO ''I love a book that talks in a kid''s voice. It makes us feel important and special. The thing I like the most about these books are that they tell different perspectives of everyday things in life.'' Mr 10 – Readingtree.com.au ''The awareness of the emotional life of boys is slowly being recognised as a critical factor into the development of boys to be strong and courageous sensitive men. Stuff Happens explores feelings and emotions in an entertaining and humorous way, allowing boys to understand that it is OK to express emotion. This can only be positive! I highly recommend and love the books!'' Deborah Jepsen, Educational and Developmental Psychologist – Melbourne Child Psychology / School Psychology Services ''As a mum to two boys aged 8 and 10, I was thrilled to find a book series that provided very real ''boy dilemmas'' and connected feelings and behaviours, which can be really confusing for boys. What was even more exciting was how much the boys ate it up. My eldest read the first book in one sitting and I was back at the bookshop the next day to buy the entire series! My youngest loved being read to and was so engaged and interested in all the characters and their issues. Can''t wait for the next instalment.'' Marita Evans – Mum to Rupert, 10, and Henry, 8
