Edward's Watch Mouse Experiment
Hi! My name is Edward and I'd like to tell you a story. No ordinary, boring grown-up type story, but a story about the time I became the greatest ten year old scientist in the history of the world! All I really wanted was to solve our family's burglar problem and with my trusty pet mouse Squiggles by my side, how could I possibly fail? You see, our town house was constantly being burgled by partners in crime, Bruce and Bazza. There seemed to be no stop to them. So I decided to do something about it!

Joseph and the Magical Moose
Hi! My name is Joseph and I'd like to tell you a story. No ordinary, boring grown-up type story, but a story about my time in Year Five. Sure, I know what you're thinking. What's so special about Year Five? Under normal circumstances, I'd agree. However, if I told you that this story was about a magical talking miniature moose that came from Canada to live with my family, then maybe, just maybe you'd be interested. This story, although humorous in sections, has a strong anti-bullying theme. Remember, if you're being bullied at school, you don't have to put up with it. Tell your teacher, your family or friends.

The Autobiography of Joseph Gaughan (1905-2001)
This is a lovely story written by a man for his family. Growing up in the early twentieth century and raising a large family during the depression years in Sydney wasn't easy. Whether it was learning to box as a young man, meeting the love of his life, or doing his bit for his country, Joseph Gaughan did it all with a tilt of his hat and a skip in his step.
