Middle-grade just got a whole lot funnier - if you can get past the mayhem, the strangeness and a touch of the unreal.

But the fun dries up fast when Joey finds a giant frilled-neck lizard in his bathroom. In an instant, the tiles are gone, replaced with endless sand dunes, blazing heat, and a sun that feels like it's out to fry him alive.

Produktbeschreibung
Middle-grade just got a whole lot funnier - if you can get past the mayhem, the strangeness and a touch of the unreal. For thirteen-year-old Joey, the best thing about summer is the epic water fights with his best mate. Hoses, buckets, taps-they're using it all. But the fun dries up fast when Joey finds a giant frilled-neck lizard in his bathroom. In an instant, the tiles are gone, replaced with endless sand dunes, blazing heat, and a sun that feels like it's out to fry him alive. The lizard isn't just any lizard-it's Freddy, straight out of Joey's little sister's storybook, and Freddy isn't here to play games. He's here to prove Joey is wasting water, and is on a mission to make Joey see how precious it is. Joey doesn't want the lecture. But when his best mate gets caught in Freddy's scorching desert world, the only way to save him is to listen. With Sienna by his side, Joey must figure out how to beat the heat-and maybe learn a thing or two about saving water-before it's too late.
Autorenporträt
As a contemporary romance author, Frances loves nothing more than losing herself in a good romance. She's all about helping you forget the housework, or the bus to work you're going to miss, if you don't put the book down now!​

She's devoted to giving her readers an emotional, passionate, possibly some ugly-cry, fairly steamy love story, that'll melt your heart and have you fighting for the happy ending right until the end.​

Frances sets her books in North Queensland. She makes no excuses if some of her settings include amazing lakes and waterfalls, stunning views from tops of mountains, spectacular outback scenes, or crystal-clear creeks shadowed by tropical rainforest.

When she isn't writing, Frances is climbing mountains, searching for waterfalls and swimming across lakes. She loves to exercise, would prefer it if someone else cooked dinner every night, and never notices dust on the furniture. ​

She lives with her husband in tropical Far North Queensland, Australia, and uses her great baking skills to tempt her three daughters to visit home as often as they can.
