Her life as a writer began when her daughter, Emma, began to really hate going to school and she set out to write a book to help her through it. Since then, Nette has become an award-winning author with more than twenty years of experience. She grew up in Victoria but has lived in Sydney since the age of eleven. Her Princess Peony books are set to become classics of their genre.
Reviews
These are charming stories with surprising and funny twists. … There is a timelessness to these stories
Reading Time
This is a book that I think will appeal to younger independent readers as the layout of the book makes it an easy read. There are three distinct stories with large text, colourful illustrations and short chapters. This is a book that would also work in a classroom read aloud situation.
