We’re so excited to announce our NEW BOOK, The Pesky Prisoners of St Helena Island, is pre-ordering now.
It’s a riot of fun—a hominy riot to be exact!
You might think history is …dusty, musty and full of old people doing old things in olden times - boring! But here's the truth: history and HASS only get boring when you leave out the gross bits, the gory bits, the weird bits, and the totally true-but-utterly-wild bits.
Luckily for you, this book is bursting with all of that! It's packed with silly-but-serious stories, fun-but-frightening facts, and a few completely ridiculous tales about the PESKY PRISONERS OF ST HELENA ISLAND, a grim prison on an island in Brisbane's Moreton Bay.
THIS BOOK IS FOR THE HISTORY BUFFS, THE HISTORY HATERS AND EVERY KID WHO THINKS SCHOOL IS LIKE A PRISON!
WARNING: This book is not for the faint-hearted, the easily grossed-out, or anyone who says "ew" too often. Don't say we didn't warn you!

Thanks Katrina! The students have written some lovely responses regarding your visit and one student has even typed the first chapter of his novel. Your visit was really well-received by all. The Principal and Deputy will recommend you to other schools in the area and I will send a letter of thanks to you soon.
