I emailed NetGalley and received a reply just a little while ago. They have had many requests to have the format shown BEFORE you request it, so she's adding my suggestion to the mix! But she also said the publisher hasn't allowed kindle download for one reason or another. I also emailed the publisher for a hard copy so whether I get that or not is another story :) We will see...

Sorry Tien, I don't remember. Just that it worked, although I couldn't change font size so it was a bit clunky. Generally I prefer to read books in pdf format on my iPad.


He's also putting together a book tour for schools (not just Victoria), so if you know of a school that would be interested, you can contact him via Facebook.


Not too long to wait Brenda!

Can we add this one, Brenda?

Yes that would be good Marianne - do you want to add to the database? Then I'll add to our Bookshelf :)

Possibly later, she said, but not for a few months at least. I've asked the library to acquire it...

will do

I haven’t requested it myself, sitting on the fence because I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed with all the books I WANT to read, let alone the ones I’ve requested.

I've got this on my list to buy next year for our school library - we have the first 2 books which have been popular
