Today I’m hosting an interview with the lovely Desna Wallace, author of My New Zealand Story: Canterbury Quake. Desna is a good friend of mine and I was super excited for her when her book was published, and even more so when it was chosen by kids around New Zealand as a 2015 Children’s Choice Award finalist! Canterbury Quake is a fantastic book that perfectly illustrates what it was like for the children who had to cope with the many earthquakes we had here in Canterbury.
Thanks to Booksellers New Zealand I have a copy of Canterbury Quake to give away. To get in the draw all you have to do is leave a comment telling me ‘What is your favourite book that immerses you in a time or place?’ It could be a fantasy story that takes you to another world or a historical story that transports you to another period of history.
Competition closes Monday 20 July (New Zealand only).
I loved The Halfmen of O by Maurice Gee. Such a complete world!
