There's A Kookaburra In My Kitchen

By Frances Dall'Alba

Joey doesn't exactly have a problem with rules. He just has a problem with people making them. Which is why he's grounded. Again.

So, when a giant kookaburra suddenly appears in the kitchen, Joey assumes things can't get any worse. He's wrong

Tilly isn't an ordinary kookaburra. She's flown straight out of his little sister's favourite storybook and has a message for him. Cutting down trees, pulling out weeds and destroying the homes of tiny creatures is messing with nature.

Joey's response? Not his problem. Not even when Tilly shrinks him down to the size of an insect and shows him the damage firsthand.

So, Tilly keeps turning up, disrupting his life and making impossible demands.

Enough is enough. Joey decides the only way to stop her is to destroy the troublesome book she came from. Simple

Joey's brilliant plan involves a homemade chemical concoction using products from around the house. What could possibly go wrong? Pretty much everything, and Joey's plan spectacularly backfires.

With his family in danger, his pride in tatters and his mountain-bike adventures hanging in the balance, maybe Tilly was right all along.

Changing the world isn't about being a superhero.

Sometimes, it just takes one kid...brave enough to start.
