Can't wait to get into it!
Craig Silvey

Friends, it is here.

RUNT AND THE DIABOLICAL DOGNAPPING is released today.

I am so thrilled, so proud and so genuinely grateful to be sharing it with you.

An author can’t begin to consider a sequel without the support of a passionate and dedicated readership, and in that respect, there is no writer more blessed than I.

The response to RUNT has been extraordinary. I have been honoured by so many profoundly lovely messages from readers of all ages who have been uplifted and encouraged, spellbound and heartswept, amused and delighted, captured and enraptured by Annie Shearer and her remarkable best friend. And every item of correspondence signed off with the same request: more please.

My point is: thank you. To every reader. To every bookseller. To every teacher, every librarian, every advocate for literature. Thank you to each and every one of you for giving me the opportunity to extend my own stay in Upson Downs. I have such genuine affection for Annie and her tenacious, kind-hearted family. I love them dearly, and it has been a gift to continue their journey and see them grow and mature.

And now, it’s my chance to give back. I offer this book to you with an assurance that it will honour your belief and repay your kindness. Hope you love it. x

It’s just ONE WEEK until Runt and the Diabolical Dognapping is in bookstores, and I can’t wait to share it with you.

To celebrate, I’ll be touring across Australia in the coming weeks. Be sure to book, reserve, dibs, bags or snag your tickets, because seats are vanishing fast. Consider preordering your copy too, because missing out would be mortifying, miserable, and mournfully misfortunate - and that’s just the M’s.

For the uninitiated, here is the blurb:

Six weeks have passed since Annie Shearer and Runt competed valiantly at the Krumpets Dog Show.

The town of Upson Downs is rejuvenated. The grass is green. The rivers are flowing. And a Tournament of Champions has just been announced, inviting the best canine talent in the world to showcase their skills in the Grand Ballroom of the abandoned Robert-Barren estate.

But as preparations for the event get underway, Runt mysteriously goes missing, and a trail of suspicious clues surround his doghouse. Annie’s worst fears are confirmed when she discovers a ransom note with a peculiar demand: she must win it all to see her friend again.

It’s up to Annie and her brother Max – now an intrepid investigative reporter with the Upson Downs Speculator – to rescue Runt before it’s too late.

Endlessly charming, deeply funny and bursting with heart, Runt and the Diabolical Dognapping is an engrossing mystery filled with twists and surprises. A beautiful, tender and moving sequel to the best-selling multi award-winning classic, RUNT.

This gorgeous hardback edition features artwork by the gloriously talented Sara Acton. I’m so proud of it. I hope you love it too. See you soon! x

I don't think that Red cares that it's International Dog Day.
She cares that she is the No.1 dog in Lee's world.
We agree!
Hugs and Wags to all the best Woofa's in the world!

Handle every situation like a dog.
If you can't eat it or play with it, just p*e on it and walk away.

Listen to the talent who trains and communicates with dogs and other animals for the stage and big screen 💛🎬🐶

Luke Hura has an innate ability to understand and communicate with animals, and for decades he's been training them for film, television and the stage. You’ve probably seen one of Luke's dogs in action — he trained Bouncer, the labrador from Neighbours, the kelpie from the film Red Dog, and the ...

Collies and kelpies are beloved working dogs and pets, but each has very different personality and behavioural traits. This is what to keep in mind about whether one would suit you and your family.
