Andrew Daddo's wicked collection of short stories will convince you that no matter how much trouble you've been in, you've never known what it's really like to be sprung! And remember: the only thing worse than getting sprung by your mates for being a suck is getting sprung for being a chicken!
It's not surprising that adventure, comedy and mischief abound in Andrew Daddo's first collection of children's stories, 'Sprung!'. Growing up in a big boisterous family - he was one of the boisterous ones - working with kids throughout his television career, and now a parent himself, Andrew has had a lot of fun being a kid and being around them. So with stories about football, fishing, camping, holidays, school gangs and more, and set in an almost legendary Australia, 'Sprung!' is based on Andrew's own family experiences - but with names changed to protect the innocent!
This is a book that parents and grandparents long for, and kids themselves will love, with an added mischievous twist thanks to the illustrations of one of Australia's best loved artists, Terry Denton.
