A fun-filled fractured fairytale adventure in a very surprising, Grimm world.
Theres a word missing. Terry pointed to the book. The maid plucked the ready for the spit. He flipped back a page. It said she was sitting beside a black hen, right
It was true. The words black hen were gone. All that remained was a larger-than-usual space. A gap. An emptiness. A hole.
A hole in the plot.
Star football player and reluctant reader Terry - and his neighbour, reluctant reading tutor, Basil - are once again reading The Complete Fairytales of the Brothers Grimm. Last time they found themselves plunged into the fairytale world, where they, and everyone else, was losing the plot. This time, something else is happening. When the boys realise their fairytale friends are in danger of being sucked into oblivion by plot holes, they dont hesitate before diving into the Grimm world to warn them. Its up to Basil and Terry to find out what's going on and how to stop the plot holes from destroying everything including their way home.
Praise for Losing the Plot: perfect for kids who prefer their comedy action-packed, their epic adventures brimming with magic, and their fantastical stories jam-packed with laughs Readings
Annaleise Byrd grew up on a farm in Queensland, ignoring most farm-related pursuits in favour of reading books. She then spent nine years in England and Canada, neglecting a variety of jobs in favour of reading books. Eventually, she realised the best way to get away with this was to become an author. Annaleise now lives in Brisbane with her husband, two young sons and rescue greyhound, and she is particularly fond of lamingtons.
