Andersen Press Spring 2006 Catalogue
 | Andersen Press has just released its 2006 Spring Catalogue, and it is full of treats. I like the look of 'Misery Moo' (3+) by Jeanne Willis and Tony Ross, a "heart-warming story about overcoming bad moods", and also 'Burger Boy' (3+) by Alan Durant and Mei Matsuoka, about a lad who eats so many burgers he turns into one - and gets chased across the countryside by a mob of hungry dogs. For teenagers, Melvin Burgess weighs in with a new novel 'Sarah's Face' about a girl who plans to give her face to an aging rock star. Noice. |
(8+) is also in there. The blurb goes something like this:
'Keep up with this exciting camel chase through the Sahara desert! Sophie, Gidaado the storyteller, and his albino camel, go on a journey through Burkina Faso. As they travel, Sophie realizes just how dangerous the desert is - it's full of djinns and deadly snakes, not to mention the infamous Moussa ag Litni, a ruthless bandit who steals camels...'
