Book Synopsis Grandad's Wheelies by : Jack Lasenby
Download or read book Grandad's Wheelies written by Jack Lasenby and published by Penguin Random House New Zealand Limited. This book was released on 2016-08-29 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Jack visits his grandparents, they tell him stories - each outdoing the other with a tale taller and wilder than the last. When Jack visits his grandparents, there's no television to entertain him. No internet, no mobile phone, no tablets. In fact, there's no technology or modern distractions at all. But he still likes to visit, because Grandad and Granny tell him stories - each trying to outdo the other with a tale taller and wilder than the last. Did you ever hear about the dragon of Waitemata harbour? Or the bridge between the North and South islands? Or why the Beehive is round in shape - and who REALLY made the Marlborough Sounds? And then there's the pumpkin larger than a garden shed, and a wheelbarrow that converts into a boat for a seasick kangaroo. There are lost false teeth, eels and the ingenious invention of the world's first rotary clothesline helicopter . . . and a flying train that touches down at the station in Nelson. With equally wild watercolour illustrations throughout by Bob Kerr, Grandad's Wheelies is a hilarious, rollicking yarn stitching together a picture of life in New Zealand a couple of generations back that is just about true. Jack can't get enough of his Grandad and Granny's stories - and readers young and old will love them too!

Book excerpt: In 1980, this was the first junior fiction written by Hazel Edwards who is best known now for her ‘There’s a Hippopotamus on Our Roof Eating Cake’ picture book series. It was inspired by her cousin John who was in a wheelchair and dedicated to him. Originally called ‘Mum on Wheels’ (Hodder and Stoughton 1980), this slightly updated version is an insight into how although words may change, the importance of problem-solving via ‘good’ ideas remains.

Book excerpt: The distance we go for Love! All Martin ever wanted was a mother who loved him. At just five-years-old she walked out, leaving Martin to be raised by his grandma and grandad. Life became a constant battle for him, enduring countless traumatic events with his mother, and Linford, the school bully. Martin wished for an escape, and that day came when he met Gerald. Together they endured years of mental and physical bullying. Masking their fears with fun, they created a distraction from all the hurt and upset, by mustering up mischievous adventures packed with adrenalin pumped fun and laughter. However, their fun takes a turn for the worst, and they're both put face to face with a much greater fear than school bullying, a fear that two thirteen year old boys should never have to experience.
Download or read book A Write Good Read written by SWit'CH and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2018-11-22 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Write Good Read is based on years of hard-earned life experiences: good and bad; funny and sad, local and abroad. Our writers are a broad church and topics range from overseas travelogues to poetry with aboriginal influence to interplanetry travel and alien invasion. Reflecting the ages of our group, there are recognisable stories featuring children and grandkids too. There are meticulously researched historical pieces recalling wealthy mill owners' brutality and the resilience of the common man. Look out also for commandments broken and seven dwarfs hidden. Romance flickers in and out in tales of loss and love unrequited. And no respectable anthology could be complete without blood curdling, teeth chattering yarns of horror. In over 200 pages, the collection of eighty different pieces closes with drama aplenty in three playlets to savour, and begins with an assortment of pieces stimulated by today's (2018) technological wonders.
Download or read book Aunt Effie's Ark written by Jack Lasenby and published by Penguin Random House New Zealand Limited. This book was released on 2012-10-01 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second book in the hilarious and outrageous 'Aunt Effie' series for junior readers. Aunt Effie, dressed in her green canvas invalid's pyjamas, hibernates all winter, leaving her 26 resourceful nieces and nephews to deal with snowstorm and flood, ravening monsters, a barnful of hungry animals and a wild ark-ride over the Vast Untrodden Ureweras. Among the comic cast of cousins are Daisy, whose primness puckers the mouth, Alwyn, who echoes and 'backwardises' the most emphatic statements, and Jack, a junior version of Jack-the-deer-culler Lasenby. There's a horse who acts as a dubiously qualified doctor, a gander who causes the ark to roll, and cows with insomnia - snoring in tune. With his trademark embellishments and wonderful blend of humour, excitement and wacky fun, award-winning writer Jack Lasenby has created another story of mayhem and delight.

Book excerpt: The first novel in the exciting Travellers series — a young adult fantasy story of survival against the odds in a fearful futuristic world. In a land called the Whykatto, south of the city of Orklun, the sun rises angry in the sky, eats the winter grass and flames towards the western horizon. As the sky turns fiery, figures appear in the landscape: a boy, limping, accompanied by an old woman. Cast out from their tribe they make the journey alone, away from the sun's rage, away from the deserts of the north, toward the southern lands. This is Ish's tale, a tale of rejection, of survival against the odds, of growing up in an age when much is feared, and few can be trusted. Written by one of New Zealand's most awarded writers for children and teens.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A charming novel for young readers by an award-winning writer, based on a young boy's summer in the countryside and the characters — real and imagined — that he meets. Dad has to go to work, so you go down to see Mr Bluenose; there's always something to do there. He tells you stories while you give him a hand to sort apples, feed the pigs, teach Horse how to push the wheelbarrow, and terrify boys who plan to raid the apple trees. On the way home, you look for empty bottles and sell them for boiled lollies to Mr Bryce at the store. He pays you more boiled lollies for telling him stories about how Mr Bluenose got his name, how he rode a whale to London, and was so seasick for so long in the crow's nest that he ran away from sea to Waharoa and planted his orchard. And then there's always Freddy Jones and the other kids to scare with stories about vampires, moreporks, and the White Woman of Waharoa who has a face as smooth as an egg... Think Spike Milligan meets Roald Dhhal, this is the captivating and amusing, rich and fun-filled story of a country summer, seen through a child's eye and created by a master story-teller.

Download or read book Buyology written by Martin Lindstrom and published by Currency. This book was released on 2010-02-02 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “A fascinating look at how consumers perceive logos, ads, commercials, brands, and products.”—Time How much do we know about why we buy? What truly influences our decisions in today’s message-cluttered world? In Buyology, Martin Lindstrom presents the astonishing findings from his groundbreaking three-year, seven-million-dollar neuromarketing study—a cutting-edge experiment that peered inside the brains of 2,000 volunteers from all around the world as they encountered various ads, logos, commercials, brands, and products. His startling results shatter much of what we have long believed about what captures our interest—and drives us to buy. Among the questions he explores: • Does sex actually sell? • Does subliminal advertising still surround us? • Can “cool” brands trigger our mating instincts? • Can our other senses—smell, touch, and sound—be aroused when we see a product? Buyology is a fascinating and shocking journey into the mind of today's consumer that will captivate anyone who's been seduced—or turned off—by marketers' relentless attempts to win our loyalty, our money, and our minds.

I was so impressed by the results of the assignment that I felt the poems needed to be preserved in a bound document. Thus, this little book.
