Summary: This miscellany includes an intrepid mix of fiction, comics, poems, essays, art, and high jinks for 9-13 year olds. What's inside? Emergency poetry, a small-town spy, revenge craft, a song, a fish that flies, skaters and surfers (and stealing and slices), rock stars and time slips and sheep in weird places. And don't miss out on the new board game "Blended Families." All-new content from New Zealand's best writers and illustrators.
