Back when I did my 3rd year prac, the class had been looking at the book "The Floods" by Colin Thompson. As it was a 3-6 class, the teacher read the book to the class, and they loved it.
I didn't get to read the whole book with the class so I bought it and read it. The story is hilarious and written by an Aussie. It rips off people/situations that are familiar. That was book 1...The series is now up to book 11.
Last year when book 10 came out, I missed buying it and therefore asked for it for my birthday as it was hard to find. In the meantime, I bought book 11 and put it aside (so I could read them in order).
I finally read 10 a few days ago and went to start on 11 but couldn't find it. I searched for 2 days and finally found it today. It was sitting next to the printer (half underneath) with the phone on top of it! Everyone in the family was most relieved!
If you get the chance I recommend the series, as they are kids chapter books, they are fairly light reading but really hilarious! (Things to watch for...Dead Grandmother; Witch/Wizard college; How they have children; The donkey; familiar TV shows)
