Hideous!

Here's the new anthology of stories for young readers , from Random House. It's called Hideous and Hilarious, and it includes historical stories by writers like David Hill, Sandy Mackay and James Norcliffe ... And me.
My story is called Anzac Day and it's about a boy who finds a boat on the beach. It's set just after World War One.
The book is edited by Barbara Else, who has worked on other collections such as Weird and Wonderful and Claws and Jaws.
Hideous and Hilarious will be in the bookshops in New Zealand from October 6.
