Win 1 of 5 copies of the brand new junior fiction book “Dunger” from beloved NZ author Joy Cowley!

“An excellent read, laced with humour … Readers will find themselves wishing that this book went on long after the last page.”
Booksellers NZ blog
The story follows siblings William and Melissa who have been roped into helping their old hippie grandparents fix up their holiday home in the middle of the Sounds. They’ll have no electricity, no cellphone reception, and only each other for company. As far as they’re concerned, this is not a holiday at all.
Told from both William and Melissa’s perspective, Dunger is a great summer holiday read for 10-14 yr olds.
Author Joy Cowley is one of New Zealand’s best-loved writers for children. She has won many awards for her work, which includes Snake and Lizard, The Fierce Little Woman and the Wicked Pirate, and Stories of the Wild West Gang. Joy is based in Featherston, New Zealand.
