Invisible Boys by Holden Sheppard
In a small town, everyone thinks they know you: Charlie is a hardcore rocker who’s not as tough as he looks. Hammer is a footy jock with big AFL dreams, and an even bigger ego. Zeke is a shy over-achiever, never macho enough for his family. But all three boys hide who they really are. When the truth is revealed, will it set them free or blow them apart?
Rodney is a small tortoise with a big dream: all he wants to be is larger. Then one day, Rodney’s dream comes true – or does it? It’s all a matter of perspective!
Test your animal knowledge, and your perception, with our activity sheet featuring Rodney and his friends.
