Another hilarious and heart-warming story from Australia's funniest children's author.
Two hours ago, when I walked into this school for the first time, the sun was shining, the birds were singing and, apart from a knot in my guts the size of Tasmania, life was great. Now here I am, locked in the stationery cupboard. Rowena wants to be friends but the other kids don't. Is it because she's just stuffed a frog into Darryn Peck's mouth? Or is it because of her Dad?
"Rowena wants her new classmates to see that she isn't different from them, but her muteness, sign language, and volcanic temper keep her at a distance. Her adoring, but wacky and often wildly inappropriate, father keeps Rowena constantly embarrassed. Despite the grief of losing both her mother and best friend, Rowena is remarkably well adjusted as she tries to make friends and keep her loving father in check. Mary-Anne Fahey does a stellar job portraying the emotions and communications of this smart, good-hearted girl. She speaks clearly enough that her Australian accent adds flavour, not difficulty. Unique characters and an intriguing story make Blabber Mouth a success."
