    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Elise and the Gold Gloop by S.B. Davies S.B. Davies. At the age of six, my daughter was a good reader for her age, but refused to start reading “proper books” with chapters and no pictures. She was bored with “Horrid Henry” and fairies saving a rainbow yet once more and insisted that she was old enough to read proper books, but every one she tried was “too difficult”. It wasn’t she couldn’t read them, it was the concepts and storylines; they were all designed for nine and ten year olds. There was another problem too. She wanted to read about girls, yet all the books about girls we could find were twee and dull. My daughter is happy to read about a princess, along as she is a Ninja Princess; happy to save rainbows, as long as it involves a good sword fight or perhaps a well-planned heist. After a few months of this, my lovely daughter stopped reading. We tried most of the “first chapter books” that people recommend; all met with disinterest. So I asked her exactly what she wanted in a “proper book”. After much though, she wrote down: “Dragons, princess, zombies, vampires, ghosts, but not spiders and it should be funny and scary and have fighting in it.” We couldn’t find such a book with concepts and vocabulary suitable for a six year old – so I wrote one. I had written novels before, but not a children’s book, so I had help from my daughter to find the right level.

  • AFL Vic Record Week 4.Indd
    VFL Round 1 14 - 17 April 2017 $3.00 Photo: Cameron Grimes New VFL season begins Welcome to season 2017 in the Peter Jackson VFL. Plenty has happened since last September when Footscray was crowned premier. We have seen 13 VFL players provided with an AFL opportunity, selected in the 2016 NAB AFL national and rookie draft s. Casey and Geelong both produced three draft ees, with Coburg, Footscray and North Ballarat providing two draft ees each. The pleasing aspect has been seeing the likes of Tom Stewart, Mitch Hannan, Robbie Fox and Tim Smith debut in the early rounds of the AFL season. The competition this year will feature 14 clubs, with Frankston not provided a VFL licence for the 2017 season. The club has had a rich history of providing a pathway and opportunities for footballers in the region – none more evident than the debut for Sydney in recent weeks of 2014 Fothergill-Round Medal winner Nic Newman. However, it was decided at the end of last year that without the necessary off -field structures in place, AFL Victoria was not confident financial projections provided by the club could be met. We have a strong willingness to ensure there is a VFL presence in the region into the future, but it must be viable and sustainable both on and off the field in the long term. This has been highlighted in the regular communication AFL Victoria has had with the new board at the club. In other pre-season news, at the VFL Season Launch last week we revealed there will be a triple-header of matches for the 2017 Victorian state league Grand Final day at Etihad Stadium on Sunday September 24.

  • Aflpa Launches Inaugural Aflw 22Under22 –
    AFLPA LAUNCHES INAUGURAL AFLW 22UNDER22 Thursday August 26, 2020 The AFL Players’ Association has revealed the inaugural AFLW 22Under22 squad, presented by The Diamond Guys, featuring the competition’s best young talent. With the AFLW’s youngsters fully established after four seasons, the first iteration of the 22Under22 concept for AFLW players consists of a 31-woman squad. Young stars Ebony Marinoff, Danielle Ponter, Sophie Conway, Madison Prespakis, Chloe Molloy, Monique Conti, Sarah Allan and Isabel Huntington headline the inaugural squad. Adelaide, 2019 AFLW premiers, are represented the most of any side, with five players featuring – Allan, Marinoff, Ponter, Anne Hatchard, and Eloise Jones – while Carlton, who lost to the Crows in the 2019 Grand Final, have the second-most with four players featuring. CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE 31-WOMAN SQUAD To be eligible for selection, players must be aged 22 years or under for the entirety of the season, including the finals series (as was originally scheduled). AFL Players’ Association Board member, Meg Downie, said the concept is great recognition for the AFLW’s young talent during the early stages of their career. “It’s exciting to see the 22Under22 concept enter the AFLW scene,” Downie said. “AFLW has opened the doors for so many talented female footballers and I’ve seen firsthand how much the younger brigade are influencing the competition. There are some unbelievable players from this cohort.” To coincide with the release of the inaugural AFLW 22Under22 squad, the AFLPA has also created a retrospective side compiling the best players aged 22 or under from the first three seasons of the AFLW competition (2017-2019).
