COMP CLOSED: ‘Secrets of a Schoolyard Millionaire’ by Nat Amoore

This week we have three copies to give away of Nat Amoore’s new Secrets of a Schoolyard Millionaire – a fun new book for readers ages 8-12. (Nat completed our course on writing for children.)

Here’s a brief summary of the book; a hilarious story of one bag of cash, two best friends and a whole lot of trouble:

Finding a million dollars in your backyard – every kid's dream, right? That's what me and my best friend Toby thought too. Jumping castles at school. Lollipops for our adoring fans. Wearing sunglasses indoors (‘cos that's what all the millionaires do). There's a lot you can get with a million dollars . . . including a whole lot of trouble.

The book even contains bonus tips on how to be a schoolyard millionaire inside – making it a great prize for any young person looking to get rich quick! So, to be in with a chance, tell us what you would buy first if YOU found a million bucks in YOUR backyard (in 25 words or fewer). Our favourite three entries will win a copy!

Teachers – get your class to enter!

Entries close midday Monday 12 August 2019, Sydney/Melbourne time.

THIS COMPETITION HAS NOW CLOSED. THANKS FOR YOUR ENTRIES! WINNERS WILL BE CONTACTED BY EMAIL AND ANNOUNCED IN OUR NEWSLETTER.
