Snowfire on Year 7 Reading List

Snowfire continues to sell well, and we're getting some great feedback from readers. Just this morning we received a letter from J.M. of Nelson, Victoria, who writes: 'Snowfire is my new favourite novel. I would recommend it to anyone.'

Snowfire has recently been added to the year 7 reading list at Box Hill High School (Victoria) and other enquiries are being considered.

Evening Workshops a Hit

Congratulations to the students and staff at Hallam Primary School on another excellent Lit Fest Evening held during October 2007.

Richard was the guest speaker for the evening, which was well attended by students, parents and other family members.

Pascoe Vale North Primary School held an evening cartoon workshop during October 2007 which had a great roll up for both students, parents and grandparents.
