The Battle of Book Week: Yours Troolie, Alice Toolie 3

Description

Book Week is always the best week of the year! But when Alice Toolie and Jimmy Cook get involved, it's set for disaster. From kooky costume ideas to accidental author visits, nothing is safe. It's no wonder they've been fired as Library Monitors! The only way they'll get their jobs back is by winning First Prize in the book parade. And that means working together. Can these two best frenemies leave their differences behind long enough to win the Battle of Book Week?

Kate and Jol Temple are internationally awarded children's authors whose books have been translated into more than 20 languages. Their recent picture book, Room on Our Rock, is an allegory about empathy and refugees. It can be read front-to-back or back-to-front for two different perspectives. The book received the Charlotte Huck Award for outstanding fiction with the potential to transform children's lives. It was also listed as a Notable Book for a Global Society by the International Literacy Association. Kate and Jol live in Sydney, Australia with their two sons. They regularly visit schools and writers' festivals to talk ideas with young readers and writers. When they're not writing, Kate pretends to play the piano and Jol makes little egg-carton shelters for his Star Wars characters. Georgia Norton Lodge is a Sydney-based graphic designer and illustrator. When she's not creating brands, she's working on her own business, Georgia Draws A House. People send Georgia a photo of their home, or their address, and in return Georgia draws it for them! Georgia loves to live-draw in front of a crowd and has been seen creating Giant Colouring Books for children across Australia, and drawing ginormous house murals on the sides of people's homes. She first got in to children's books when she teamed up with her sister Zoe Norton Lodge, writer and television presenter, to create the popular Elizabella series. www.georgiadrawsahouse.com
