Forbidden Journal of Rufus Rumble #2

Legend of the Fang

Illustrated by Robin Tatlow-Lord

About The Book

Highly anticipated second book in this laugh-a-minute new series perfect for reluctant readers or those ready to move on from graphic novels.

Three reasons things are TOTALLY NOT GREAT, by Rufus Rumble

1. We've crashed on a planet that has NO waffles.
2. The aliens who live here want to lock us up.
3. My only chance of survival is to hike up a fang-shaped mountain that's rumoured to SWALLOW people

Chances I'll be eaten by a fang-shaped mountain? HIGH.
Chances I'll have some HAIR-RAISING adventures before I'm eaten by a fang-shaped mountain? ALSO HIGH.

Just don't let the government know I recorded all those HAIR-RAISING adventures in my journal ... Because they'll DEFINITELY ban it!

About The Author

In his job as a TV producer, Nick Long has been up close and personal with five-metre crocodiles, ruthless crime lords, unstable Alaskan glaciers and tight deadlines. Can you guess which of these was the scariest? When he's not avoiding deadlines, Nick lives with his wife and two boys on Sydney's Northern Beaches where he enjoys inventing excuses for not doing handyman stuff. The Forbidden Journal of Rufus Rumble is his first children's book series.

She lives in South Australia, on Kaurna land. When she's not drawing, she spends her time hitting her friends (otherwise known as playing roller derby) and chasing a small, adorable but highly mischievous pixie (otherwise known as parenting a toddler).
