Nathan Nuttboard Upstaged
Grade seven is not going well for Nathan Nuttboard. His mother is filling his sandwhiches with pet food, his friends are crazy, his teacher is full of 'interesting' ideas and, when he is publicly dumped by the most popular girl in the class, he reckons things can't get any worse.
But then he's unexpectedly - and unwillingly - cast as the lead actor in the school's end-of-year play and he soon realises that there are wose things than pickle and catfood sandwhiches...
But all the world's a stage and, even if it means having to kiss your ex-girlfriend in front of your friends and family, the show must go on.
The third book in the Nathan Nuttboard series is a funny, heart-warming and honest look at school, family, friends and the things that really matter.

"Into White Silence is a compelling study of the stark cruelty of the polar landscape and its effect on the men who dare to challenge it. A terrible but fascinating story. A dark tale of white ice. Recommended to all." - The Reading Stack
