What a crazy class! And what a funny, unpredictable year - the year of Naked Bunyip Dancing - when the kids in Class 6C find out who they are, what they're good at, and how to put on a fantastic show.
"'told in Herrick's inimitable style - beautifully phrased poetry...Highly recommended.' Reading Time 'Herrick has a wonderfully acute ear for the authentic voice of primary school children...this entertaining verse novel gives a funny, acutely perceptive picture and voice of this particular class...Delightful - and highly recommended.' Magpies"
