'Duncan Ball's Selby books have repeatedly been winners of 'children's choice' book awards. Selby - the only talking dog in Australia, and perhaps the world - returns with more stories to entertain and amuse in the thirteenth book of the series. Between being coated in chocolate and almost eaten by those horrible brats Willy and Billy, falling in love with the world's first talking cat, pretending to be a seeing-eye dog and maybe - just maybe - changing the recipe of Dry-Mouth Dog Biscuits, Selby is in a right shemozzle. But the biggest shemozzle of all is when he becomes invisible... This hilarious collection of stories in the bestselling Selby series is guaranteed to leave you gasping with laughter. Ages 7-12' (Publisher's blurb)

'A change is as good as a holiday but for Selby, the two go hand in hand. To coincide with the summer school holidays, HarperCollins will re-release four Selby favourites with a fresh new look. Selby Sorcerer Willia and Billia, the Trifle's terrible nephews, are again up to no good. Selby can end their havoc with magic, but for how long? Ages 7-12' (Publisher's blurb)
