Children Fiction

Georgina and Matt got on real well. He liked doing the same things as her. Sometimes he would come to her place for the day and they would make dams in the creek or go eeling. But eeling could be dangerous ÃÂÂÂâÃÂÂÂÃÂÂÂÃÂÂÂàthe water was thick with eels that slithered over GeorginaÃÂÂÂâÃÂÂÂÃÂÂÂÃÂÂÂÃÂÂÂs feet. Suddenly a loose rock rolled under MattÃÂÂÂâÃÂÂÂÃÂÂÂÃÂÂÂÃÂÂÂs feet, he lost his balance and fell, his face smashing into a large jutting rock. The Kiwi Bites series are pitched at young readers (7ÃÂÂÂâÃÂÂÂÃÂÂÂÃÂÂÂÃÂÂÂ12) with the aim of building reading skills and confidence. They have strong plot-based stories, with themes of humour, confidence, sport, adventure, caring, journeys and problem-solving. Dot Meharry is a teacher and a published author of several childrenÃÂÂÂâÃÂÂÂÃÂÂÂÃÂÂÂÃÂÂÂs books. She lives in Thames.
