New book for Mike Manefield

October 19, 2020

Congratulations to author Mike Manefield on the publication of

Delta is for dinosaur

a picture book for 3-8 year olds illustrated by Tallulah Cunningham and published by Micronovo Pty Ltd.

Over a billion years ago a bacterium named Delta played rough games with good friends. They formed relationships that changed life on Earth forever. This microbial primordial romp is based on a major event in the evolutionary history of life.

This book is the seventh in a growing series of illustrated children's books set in the microscopic universe of microbiology. The author is a Professor of microbiology at the University of NSW. You eyes won't believe what you can't see.

A book about a bacterium? Fascinating!

September 29, 2020

Congratulations to Donna Blaber on the publication of

Just End It

a junior fiction paperback for 10-13 year olds published by Light House.

Twelve-year-old Jessie Brown wishes everything would go back to normal. Cyberbullying sucks, especially when it happens to you! Jessie must try to fix everything, but she needs help. Who can she trust? Will anything be the same again?

Just End It carefully engages with the tough issues facing today’s tweens – friendship, cyberbullying, bullying, internet content, finding your place in the world, and being true to yourself.
