The Wreckers’ Revenge by Norman Jorgensen
Red Read is in trouble, again.

Alex and the Alpacas Save the World by Kathryn Lefroy
Alex is expecting a boring holiday when she’s told she’ll be spending the summer on her grandfather’s farm. But not long after she and her mum arrive, weird things start to happen.

Soon Alex is caught up in an ancient prophecy that threatens the destruction of the world, and she must use all of her brains, brawn and bravery to stop it happening.
Get creative with this hands-on activity for making a prophecy maker that encourages students to think about what they’d predict for the future if they had the power to.
