Product Description
Dear Mum and Dad,
This is just to let you know that I took the torch, the hammer, the plastic strainer, the chocolate biscuits and the stuff that's missing from the bathroom. So it's OK, you haven't been burgled. Please don't worry, things are looking even better
than I thought, opal-wise.
Love, Keith
Going down a mine and digging up a fortune in precious opals is Keith's solution to his parents' problems. Stacks of money will make everything OK in their tropical paradise, and save them from being permanent worry warts. Won't it?
Another brilliant Keith Shipley plan - if it works ...
Amazon Review
With Misery Guts, Glietzman gave readers the first of a hilarious and warm-hearted three-part series which concludes with Puppy Fat. The artistic and enterprising young Keith Shipley has no problem using all his talents to try to cheer up his miserable, quarrelsome parents. Nothing seems to work, though, until he has the bright idea of moving the whole family Down Under.
In Worry Warts, the second book in the series, Keith's ungrateful parents, now re-homed in an Australian tropical paradise, are still giving him headaches. But now the problem seems to be a financial one. Once again Keith tries using all his entrepreneurial and artistic skills to put things right. This time it's a question of opal hunting. But will his adventure-packed trip to the opal fields save them all from spending the rest of their lives as "worry warts"? One thing's for sure-- Keith's story is so funny and so entertaining that while you're reading your only worry is when it is going to end. --Tamson Palmer
