DEE SCRIBING – ‘The Big Blowie’

Now that you’ve met Sally, here’s a bit more about her book, ‘The Big Blowie’.

 

 

The drought at Lake Blowie has threatened to put the whole town off the map but Syd likes living there. He can’t make it rain, but there is something he can do

 

In ‘The Big Blowie’, we meet Syd, a kid with the imagination and enthusiasm to save the world ( fortunately, in this story he doesn’t have to, just his Mum’s scones and cream business).

 

This is a great book for kids who hate blow flies and like coming up with big ideas.

 

Sally Murphy’s descriptions and dialogue make you feel right there in the story, and Craig Longmuir’s illustrations are totally cool.
