CASTLE CRASHING brings our favourite summer crew of kids back together with a new story celebrating friendship, frustration, forgiveness and self-discovery.
Bonnie knows how to build sandcastles best, but her friends insist on building their own castles every way but Bonnie’s way. They sift and sculpt and burrow in the soft, white sand, happily playing by their own rules. No-one listens to Bonnie. Soon, her anger boils over and she storms off across the dunes.
Bonnie’s friends are patient and understanding; they will wait for her to navigate her feelings. But can Bonnie show herself the same kindness?
Hannah Sommerville and I are thrilled to return readers to the sun-kissed world of Jetty Jumping and Sunday Skating with Hardie Grant Children’s Publishing. This is a story we’ve both loved creating together. (And our own sandcastle building expertise has come in handy!)
Our new picture book is out Oct 28 and pre-orders are available via link in comments, or through your lovely local bookstore.
