'Everyone knows that Brain Davis is the smartest kid at school, but he certainly isn't the luckiest.'

'After an attack of the hiccups leaves him speechless during his appearance on Quizzical, Brain must bite his tongue and let his best mate, Ted Dimple, take the spotlight on Money Bags, the richest game show on earth.'

'But even Brain's expert coaching cannot inspire confidence in Ted, and soon enough, it seems as though the evil plans of Prescott Heath may once again succeed...' (Source: Dennis Jones & Associates website)

1 6 y separately published work icon The Wilful Eye Isobelle Carmody (editor), Nan McNab (editor), Crows Nest : Allen and Unwin , 2011 Z1767561 2011 anthology novella young adult

'Six writers - Margo Lanagan, Rosie Borella, Isobelle Carmody, Richard Harland, Margaret Mahy and Martine Murray - have taken inspiration from stories that have shaped us all, tales like Beauty and the Beast, The Steadfast Tin Soldier, and The Snow Queen. This collection carries universal themes of envy and desire, deception and abandonment, courage and sacrifice.

'Characters are enchanted, they transgress, they yearn, they hunger, they hate and, sometimes, they kill. Some of the stories inhabit a traditional fairytale world, while others are set in the distant future. Some are set in the present and some in an alternative present. The stories offer no prescription for living or moral advice and none belong in a nursery.

'Open the covers and submit to their enchantment.' (From the publisher's website.)
