Paperback
Author: V.M. Jones
Published by: HarperCollins Publishers (New Zealand)

Winner of the Junior Fiction Prize NZ Post Book Award 2004
A coming-of-age novel about Pip, whose father wants him to be everything that Pip is not. Pip is good at English, like his mother; but Pip’s father wants him to be a soccer star like Nick, Pip’s brother, and to win at any cost.

When Pip’s English teacher challenges her students to learn how to juggle three balls, Pip is determined that he will do better than that.

What everyone should know about teenagers and drugs ...

People, particularly the young, take drugs because they enjoy the effects they have on their moods. But for every high there is a low. For every trip, a return journey.

All children entering adolescence need to know that there is no short cut to happiness through chemistry. There is only a short circuiting of the brain wiring that makes them, them.

Today we know so much more about how the brain works and, importantly, how it matures. Through MRI scanning scientists have discovered that the brain is not fully matured until a person reaches about 25 years of age. The effect of drugs, including alcohol and nicotine, on the maturing brain can be devastating and is always harmful.

The most effective way to deal with drug problems is within the family. With so many ... more

Author: Joy Cowley Illustrated by Gavin Bishop
Published by: Scholastic New Zealand Limited

Joy Cowley and Gavin Bishop join forces in this charming 'circle of life' story that combines lilting language with stunning illustrations.
Many years ago, when Joy Cowley wrote Mouse Bride for Scholastic the artist who worked on the project created a wonderful tractor that subsequently inspired The Rusty Trusty Tractor which was published by Philomel in the USA.
That inspired Gavin Bishop to ask Joy to write a story he could illustrate and so The Little Tractor was born.

First one interesting character then another buys the tractor on the salesman's word that "It's a nice little tractor, a strong little tractor, a chug-chug, can't-go-wrong little tractor." But each time the tractor does go wrong until at ... more
