Here's a little bit about Crackpot.
All Phoebe wants is a normal family. But with a dad who keeps running away to the circus, an annoying younger brother who thinks he's a vampire, and a crackpot mum who reckons she's a comedian, ‘normal' is a long way off.
And here's a sneak preview of what's inside:
"It was the moment when milk came spurting out of my nose that I knew Mum was going to be a great comedian. Up until then, I'd had my doubts. Serious doubts.
With all the mothers in the world, I often wondered why I'd been landed with an odd one. I don't mean that in a nasty way. We all reckon Mum's a bit of an oddball, including Mum herself. But why is it, when all the other mothers do canteen duty or play tennis or hold down corporate jobs, my Mum sticks teapots on the roof, recycles absolutely everything - even tissues - and dances all night at our school's Blue Light discos?
Crackpot is now available in all major bookshops (and some smaller ones too, I hope!). ...Or you can buy online at Dymocks:
