There's A Mammoth In My Basement

Beschreibung

Middle-grade just got a whole lot funnier - if you can get past the mayhem, the strangeness and a touch of the unreal. All thirteen-year-old Joey wants to do is hang out with his best mate and avoid trouble for once. But trouble finds him anyway-this time in the basement, where he wakes to discover a giant woolly mammoth crammed in beside him. Along with the mammoth comes frosty air, stalactites, icebergs, and a trumpeting voice so loud it shakes the walls. The mammoth isn't just any mammoth-it's Billy, straight out of Joey's little sister's storybook. But Billy isn't here for fun. He's here to teach Joey a lesson: be kinder to animals. Problem is, Joey has zero interest in taking advice from an extinct, oversized, bossy furball. But when only Sienna, the girl next door, can see the chaos Billy causes, Joey is outnumbered when Sienna sides with Team Billy. Then disaster strikes. One of Billy's icebergs swallows Joey's little sister whole. Suddenly, Joey has to do more than survive Billy's frosty 'life lessons'. He must save his sister-before his family changes forever. Even if his little sister is the most annoying person on the planet.

Autor

As a contemporary romance author, Frances loves nothing more than losing herself in a good romance. She's all about helping you forget the housework, or the bus to work you're going to miss, if you don't put the book down now!​

She's devoted to giving her readers an emotional, passionate, possibly some ugly-cry, fairly steamy love story, that'll melt your heart and have you fighting for the happy ending right until the end.​

Frances sets her books in North Queensland. She makes no excuses if some of her settings include amazing lakes and waterfalls, stunning views from tops of mountains, spectacular outback scenes, or crystal-clear creeks shadowed by tropical rainforest.

When she isn't writing, Frances is climbing mountains, searching for waterfalls and swimming across lakes. She loves to exercise, would prefer it if someone else cooked dinner every night, and never notices dust on the furniture. ​

She lives with her husband in tropical Far North Queensland, Australia, and uses her great baking skills to tempt her three daughters to visit home as often as they can.
