Three short weeks, two boys and one little penguin. What could possibly go wrong? When 11 (and a half) year old Marty is partnered up with Jessica on the overnight science trip, he thinks all of his dreams are about to come true. It's his big chance to impress the most beautiful girl in Year 7 (and probably the world) and he wouldn't miss it for anything. Only problem is: Marty can't afford to go on the overnight trip. Yet. Inspired by the urban myth that it is possible to steal a penguin from the zoo on a school visit, Diary of a Penguin-napper is a hilarious tale of growing up, bending the rules and how one big fuss can be caused by stealing just one little penguin. BONUS: Be the first to read the first chapter of Sally's brand new book RUBY MARVELLOUS, now included with this edition of Diary of a Penguin-napper.

About the Author:

SALLY HARRIS grew up in rural Australia and wrote her first book when she was in Grade 4 – it was a joke book, full of some seriously corny jokes. Since then she has barely stopped writing stories and while her taste in jokes may not have improved, she likes to think that her storytelling skills have. After graduating with a Masters in Children’s Literature, Sally has been busy writing and working as a primary teacher, in both Australia and the UK, where she has endless classes of children to test out her stories on. She now lives in Melbourne and when she’s not writing, you can find her teaching, dancing, drinking chai lattes, reading children’s books and scouring the paper for unlikely news articles to turn into exciting fiction. Sally loves animals, including penguins, and if she can’t have one of those as a pet, a dog would be the next best thing.
