Book Week 2011 'One World, Many Stories'
Cleaning up an old storeroom really wasn't a fun way to spend a holiday but that was before Claire discovered that adventures can begin in the most unexpected places! |
 |
Book Week 2010 'Across the Story Bridge'
Claire never intended this to happen and now she was learning the hard way that a thoughtless word can lead a kid into all kinds of trouble! It was going to take some kind of miracle for her to find her friend Oliver and get back home before anyone realised they were missing. |
 |
Book Week 2009 'Book Safari'
When Claire agreed to go with her new friend Oliver on a weekend expedition it was only
meant to be camping in the back yard, but somehow they had ended up a lot further away from home than that! Here they were in a jungle, without supplies, a mobile or a map, and only that crazy compass with a mind of its own... |
 |
Book Week 2008 'Fuel Your Mind'
Claire was off before she had time to really understand what she was doing in the race in the first place! She always thought herself to be a particularly ordinary person and yet here she was with the roar of engines all around, behind the wheel of a solar powered racing car!

Sam and Katie HAVE to find their way out of a game they seem unable to escape from!
