COMP CLOSED: Win Olive of Groves by Katrina Nannestad!

This week we have a signed copy of this children’s fiction book to give away. In Olive of Groves we follow the title character Olive as she attends Mrs Groves’ Boarding School for Naughty Boys, Talking Animals and Circus Performers!

As author Nannestad herself says, “This, dear reader, is a moving tale of friendship and betrayal, hope and despair, laughter and tears… and a 10-year-old girl with a heart as big as a pumpkin.” We think kids everywhere (even big kids) will love it.
