Something Terrible: Sam Stop-Your-Frowning


Overview

Paul Jennings meets The Treehouse in this hilarious new series of laugh-out-loud cautionary tales. Sam Crisp lives at 6 Rufus Street. You might be surprised to know that is his name, because most people think his name is Sam Stop-your-frowning. But no matter how many people tell him, or how often, Sam never stops his frowning. One morning, just as Sam was leaving for school, his mum called, ‘Sam! Stop your frowning. Something terrible could happen!’ This is the story of the something terrible that did. Sally Barton weaves a tale of mayhem, mess and moping in this frowningly funny fourth installment of the terrible things that happen in Rufus Street.

Author Information

From the age of six when Sally Barton took her first book from the library, words and stories became an important part of her life. She not only spends her days creating fictional worlds for both adults and children, but she also passes this love and knowledge on to her students as a tutor for children with learning differences. Sally previously worked for the police but was happiest at her job in a public library while she finished her degree in Legal Studies. Sally enjoys teaching and travelling but writing is her first love. Christopher Nielsen is an Australian author/illustrator specializing in bringing joy and wonder to children through his art and storytelling. His illustrations are inspired by a deep passion for mid-century culture and design. In 2018 his first picture book saw him shortlisted for the CBCA Crichton Award for best new illustrator and in 2022 his book Just One Bee received the CBCA Honour Award for Picture Book Of The Year. When he’s not busy with a book he can be found raising his beautiful young family or playing with his band The Ramalamas.
