And on my regular Tuesday charity shop crawl, because I really enjoyed Jack Heath's debut adult novel, I spotted his first ever book The Lab for $1.50 at Vinnies, so why not!

Sounds great Sally. Are the characters zany enough for me to use them as Z in the Aussie Challenge?

I thought the series was excellent Marianne, very true to the book except for location and a slight change at the end leaving an opening for a part two which I believe is in the making now.
