(Fremantle Arts Center Pr, March 1, 2002)
Magpie Mischief is a delightfully irreverent story about a group of school kids who gang together and take on the City Council to protect the magpies nesting in the trees outside their school. The pro-magpie and anti-magpie lobbies lock horns in a hilarious story that will appeal to 8-10 year old readers, and while entertaining them will acquaint them with conservation and empowerment issues, and suggest innovative ways of coping with school bullies.
