Introducing Penny Macoun and her picture book Gorkle

Today it is my pleasure to introduce you to Penny Macoun and her delightful new picture book Gorkle. This interview is part of a Books on Tour promotion.

Have you ever sent a text message that has taken hours or even days to arrive, or never turned up at all? Gorkle is an imaginative and fun picture book that explains just what might happen to those text messages that go missing in cyberspace.

About Penny Macoun

Penny Macoun was born in Sydney, Australia, and has been writing since when her story about a funnel web spider was printed in a school newsletter. Ever since, Penny has loved the ‘other worlds’ that words create, and hopes to continue to create these worlds for many years to come.  Gorkle is her first book.  When she is not writing or editing, Penny dabbles in various forms of visual arts and enjoys being in the garden.

    A text message mystery must be perfect for kids today. I imagine they don’t have rotary phones as toys anymore!
