After the strange events of My Nasty Neighbours, David Stirling and his family have moved from the city to the country -- much to his disgust!
Category: Children's fiction
David says: I'm telling you, nothing is worse than living in the country. And I should know. You think when people say 'the back of beyond' it's just a joke, but it's really a warning:Don't live here if you want to have a life!
The problem is, parents just don't listen. So here we are, the Stirling family, stuck in the wilds. No one is happy — plus, I'm pretty sure all country people are crazy.
Could things get any worse?
Her first book, Fairchild was published in Hong Kong. Cherokee, Creina's first book with The O'Brien Press, was published in 1994, followed by My Nasty Neighbours in 1995.
Her last books are It Wasn't Me, the story of how Jack deals with the school bully, and Snip Snip for younger readers. Creina's writing has been praised as 'original and compulsive' by Books Ireland and her books have been very favourably reviewed.
'original and compulsive'
'Creina Mansfield successfully combines eccentric characters, laugh-out-loud humour and a sometimes serious storyline.'
