Intrigue . . . hijinks . . . laughter . . . they're all immersed in the story of Mullumbimby Madness. This inventive narrative invites students into the world of Neil Dobbs, adolescent school student, who has the knack of being on the spot to witness the oddest events. His zany adventures and Simpsons-like humour will have strong appeal to both boys and girls. With it comes a Teacher's Guide, the perfect tool for integrating it into the high school classroom. It is not linked to any specific syllabus, allowing for easy national and international applications. Suggested activities focus on written and oral communication, as well as visual literacy. The accompanying proposal outlines the features of both Mullumbimby Madness and the Teacher's Guide, including samples from the first five chapters of the books.
The book has a large target audience because high school students can easily relate to the characters' exploits. Mullumbimby Madness in manuscript form has generated great enthusiasm from otherwise low interest readers. The Teacher’s Guide provides varied and diverse classroom activities.
