This years Storyline Story Tour is coming up to Kerikeri. I quickly jumped in and put my hand up for a writer to come and visit us and guess what excitement abounds at Excellere College, we are having Des Hunt, children's author, calling into Excellere on the way up to the Kerikeri Family day, on the afternoon of August 25th.
Des Hunt's writing emphasises the environment, flora and fauna of New Zealand, while giving a sense of adventure children enjoy.
At the moment I am reading "The Peco Incident", a must read.
The Peco Incident is about two cousins in the school holidays coming across dead sparrows. Cousin Nick has a suspicious mind and in no time they are in an adventure of suspense and drama when meeting two hippie tourists near The Peninsula Egg Farm (PECO), finding dead chickens hidden in the bushes, and a hole cut in the fence of the chicken farm.
Good reading everyone,
Angela
Hi Angela
ReplyDeleteWe had Des Hunt up here visiting our school last year and he was wonderful. He is an ex-teacher, science, and incorporated science experiments in with his plot development! The students were enthralled. Enjoy his visit.
Must add a congratulations on your blogging prowess - good on you Angela.
