Title: Song Bird – Superhero
Author: Karen Tyrrell
Publisher: Digital Future Press
Rosella Ava Bird dreams of flying. Will she ever do it? They’d just moved to a new home and she would be starting school nearby. Her new neighbor Frank Furter is mean to her. He points laser light at her and laughs when her flying inventions crash.
Her mum is a health and safety person and obsessed with keeping everyone away from danger. Friends at her old school called her mother hen because her mum fusses over her family. Especially Rosie, because she keeps building flying machines and other things that don’t work. Her dad cooks great breakfasts, and has an embarrassing car horn. He bans her from making anymore flying machines. Disaster!
Her sister and brother are both named after birds too. Little brother Robin and big sister Raven. They start at their new schools the same day as Rosie.
Rosie loves superheroes and longs to be just like them. She watches the news for their acts of heroism. She has posters of her favourite inventors and flyers on her wall. She also loves to sing. Whenever she needs to be a bit braver she sings a song to herself. When she gets ready to go to her new school she packs her lunch in a bag with flying stickers on it.
Once she starts school she her dreams become very realistic. Sometimes they become nightmares with Frank Furter in them. He is in her grade and he turns out to be the bully at her new school. Will she fit in?
The rules at the new school don’t make it easy;
DO NOT MAKE A SOUND,
DO NOT CREATE A MESS,
DO NOT BREAK A THING.
Even though things go wrong from the first day. Rosie makes friends and the School Science Fair gives her a project to be excited about. Maybe she could make something that will make the other kids like her. That’s if she’s able to enter it.
Her new teacher, Miss Darling, encourages her not to give up. Rosie starts to believe in herself. She discovers her voice can lift her off the ground. It’s amazing and causes her trouble too. When things go wrong at the science fair Rosie saves the day.
This is another great story of self-empowerment for children by Karen Tyrrell.
I’m sure it will go well with all her other books for children. I’ll be giving a copy to my granddaughters to read. I look forward to seeing more about how she came to write this book in the blog tour.

Amazon launches Song Bird Superhero across the World.
r, School Counsellor
The Ten Penners had a wonderful time at 
Broadbeach State School on Monday 22nd August. We had a room beside the library where even my small voice could be heard.
Today we did our final preparations for the Ten Penners visit to Broadbeach Independent Primary School visit tomorrow, 22nd Aug.
Gold Coast Writers Meeting Today will be treated to the expertise of Robyn Lee Burrows speaking about research.
‘When Hope Is Strong’ – At the outset this book shows the daily struggles and choices people made to forge a living in an untamed land. Pioneer Australian women made friendships that become real and personal. I enjoyed the way Bridie, Maddie and Kitty saw their world. Bridie, with her visionary outlook. Maddie, who sunk into sullen resignation of her world turned upside down. Kitty, with her youthful excitement for the future, yearning to escape the drudgery of the world she’d come to know.
bustling Adelaide city in 1889. To the vast expanse of station life at Wirra Downs, near Bourke, in New South Wales is vivid. You could close your eyes and you’d be there. The best accolade I can give this book is simply that I couldn’t put it down once I’d started it.
Saturday 23rd July, at Southport Yacht Club, members and guests enjoyed the sunshine and stimulating company of guest authors and keynote speaker Madonna King.
Madonna spoke about her interviews and writing both memoirs of Ian Frazer and Joe Hockey.
