Life Lessons & Tales of Little MisFit: Book 2: Life Isn't Always Fair

This is the second book in the series of Life Lessons & Tales of Little MisFit. The first book, Life Isn’t Always What It Seems, is the winner of the Fall 2020 Pinnacle Achievement Award in the Young Adult genre and the Top Ten Finalist for the 2021 Author Elite Award in Middle Grades/Children’s Category. Book 1 also has more than two dozen five-star Amazon reviews (including a UAE book newsletter). One reviewer said that the book is “for the child in each of us.” Another: “It’s a laugh-out-loud, fun read.” Most reviewers indicated that they cannot wait to read book 2 in this series. The life lesson in book 2 is: “Life Isn’t Always Fair.” This book is written for children, young adults and adults who are young at heart along with those who have found themselves to be a “MisFit” at some point or situation in their lives. In Book 2, Ivy Sue (Little MisFit – LMF) learns that “Life Isn’t Always Fair,” when she is punished by her teacher for doing something that she did not do. The teacher tells her that she had probably done things before that she didn’t get punished for and that it’s time she learned the lesson that “Life Isn’t Always Fair.” LMF decides to use humour to get back at her teacher and from her tales and antics, we see how she learns to handle this important life lesson. Through challenging and unfair situations, LMF shows us that it’s possible to move forward in life and learn to make the best of most situations and opportunities that come our way, even when “Life Isn’t Always Fair!”  

Percy the Plastic Bag

Percy is a proud plastic bag and wants to work hard, and he loves to carry things for people. After leaving the Feed Me Supermarket, Percy is happy to be heading out to have a life of usefulness. Unfortunately, things don’t work out quite the way he thought they would. After Percy helped carry some cupcakes to the fete at the village green, things take a terrible turn for the worse, and Percy finds himself in all sorts of trouble. Plastic pollution is having a serious effect on our environment and wildlife. This story is about the travels of some plastic characters who find themselves going from being useful to no longer needed and getting themselves into all sorts of difficulties. It is both funny and sad and is written in a way to highlight awareness to single-use plastic. Have you ever wondered what really happens to some plastic after it is used and no longer needed? Where does it go and how does it get there? Through the eyes of the plastic characters and their humorous and tragic adventure, it is hoped in a fun way, to bring a greater understanding to children about the responsibility we have to protect our world against plastic waste.

The Tremendous Travels and Intergalactic Misgivings of the Karillapig

Do you ever find yourself looking up at the night sky and asking, ‘who lives on the dark side of the Moon?’

Well, it’s a fair question, is it not? It’s certainly up there with other such burning questions, such as, ‘If you can tune a piano, why can’t you tuna fish?’

The Tremendous Travels and Intergalactic Misgivings of the Karillapig continue on from The Adventures of the Karillapig where we follow our intrepid Moon hero, the Karillapig, who is from the dark side of the Moon, as he embarks on a series of calamitous investigations in an attempt to establish how us earth beings achieved space travel.

Incidentally, in case you were wondering – and I’m sure you were – The dark side of the Moon is inhabited by many different Moon Critters; Moon Critters come in all shapes and sizes and include favourites such as ‘The Hippobuffafrog,’ ‘The Evil Flapperbiller,’ and ‘Moofus McRadling.’ For years now, Moon Critters have puzzled over a burning question: ‘How did Earth beings achieve space travel?’ Hence the Karillapig’s investigations…

The Karillapig isn’t alone. Not at all – you may be surprised to learn that there are at least three Moon Critters currently here on Earth – as may The Bumblebottoms, whose garden (to be more precise, a discarded washing up bowl at the bottom of the Bumblebottoms’ garden) is home to our Moon Critters whilst here on Earth.

One thing is for sure – where the Karillapig is, you will find chaos, havoc, and general tomfoolery…

The Wild Ones

The stars of this book live all around you. You may not have noticed that cockatoo in your clothesline and realised he has a brilliant military mind. He may be plotting right now how to steal your lunch. And that cute, cuddly-looking possum – he would rather bite your hand than enjoy a tasty treat from you. Watch out! You may not have realised that those magpies in your garden are telling their kids all about you and your family. They know who is good for a feed and who is a dangerous baby magpie killer. Or at least they think they do. They have probably trained your dog and frightened your cat. There are so many characters out there living wild and uncivilised lives, having romances and adventures, teaching their young and protecting them, hiding from you or maybe even trying to make friends with you. Open up this book for a little inside view into their world.

The Worms

Worms occupy all sorts of environments and creatures in nature, for all sorts of reasons. This book follows the lives and habits (some good, some not so good – from a human’s perspective) of a group (a ‘clew’) of worms of very different types and characters who live in a regular, if somewhat quiet and sometimes messy, garden. The worms are always busy (no, not really); sometimes disgusting (quite often); mischievous (a couple, definitely); intelligent (of course, what would you expect?); always clean (pass!); and friendly (Oh, for sure). Give yourself, family and friends, worms!
