Ginger Meggs by Tristan Bancks

Tristan Bancks is an author living in the Northern Rivers and is the great-great nephew of the creator of Australian icon Ginger Meggs. To celebrate 100 years of Ginger Meggs Tristan has written 4 short stories starring Ginger and his mates, illustrated by cartoonist Jason Chatfield.
These new stories are all about Ginger’s adventures with a death-defying billycart challenge, a lamington money-making scheme, a class captain campaign, and an eventful camping trip. They are very funny and remain true to the original characterisation of Ginger Meggs. I really enjoyed reading this book and think it will appeal to people of all ages. It’s also the perfect book to read aloud with the whole family.
