About The Boys report

A number of boys and their dads, along with myself and a couple of other library staff were fortunate enough to meet and talk with Tim Pegler at Hawthorn Library on Wednesday night. If you weren't there, you missed out. Tim, author of Game as Ned spoke about some of his all time favourite books for boys and also told us how he came to write Game as Ned and his forthcoming book Five parts dead. You can read more about Tim at http://www.timpegler.com.au/.

This was the first in our About the Boys & About the Girls events for 2010. The girls kick of on Tuesday night at Kew Library with Lili Wilkinson. More details here.

Next week I'll post details of the boys and girls combined event in June. If you were one of the boys present on Wednesday night, don't forget I got over excited and promised you a Freddo if you submit a review to the blog before then! Bonus points for the first person to submit a review of Game as Ned. If you were there you may have noticed how much I like throwing Freddos around the library, so don't miss out.
