Get ready for a collection of original works from almost 50 fab Australian authors and illustrators. Rich and Rare, Ford Street Publishing’s latest anthology for teens hits bookshops next month – promising something for everyone.

Paul Collins has put together an amazing line-up for this hefty volume and I’m very excited to be part of the collection with a contemporary story of intrigue in the cane fields of North Queensland called Sugar is Sweet.

I’m loving the front cover by Shaun Tan!

Ford Street is running a competition to determine where Rich and Rare will be launched. Check out the details here.
