Whacko by Dave Caddy ★ ★ ★★

STRANGE AND WILD

Reviewed by Annabelle (Aged 10)  Meet Annabelle

Whacko is a very adventurous and wild book. It was written by David Caddy, who used to teach at our school, Our Lady of Assumption in Dianella Perth.  He is now teaching at St Peter’s, so it is great to be able to read local author’s books.

 It’s all about a family with six kids; Jo, James, Justin, Jade and the twins Joshua and Janelle (who are only babies). The four older kids notice that their parents have been doing the strangest things, mum’s eating pig brains and dad’s losing his mind.

The kids get really suspicious about all this strange things that are happening and they try to work out what is going on.

 I think that this was a great book and everyone that is the age of 10-13 should read it!
