'A hilarious new adventure from bestselling children's author Tanya Hennessy. Wherever Stevie goes, high drama is sure to follow...

'Stevie Louise is an entrepreneur (that's like a business person), an entertainer (obviously), and an extrovert on the inside (wait, is this a thing?).

'Stevie and the Brooke Street crew are hard-up for cash. Going viral doesn't last forever, you know, and killer costumes are expensive. To keep their show-biz dream alive, the kids are competing in a local talent quest. But the competition is stiff (I mean, have you ever heard four goats sing a capella?), and Alex has a unicorn horn glued to his forehead for at least the next three weeks.

'It's tough working under these conditions, but Stevie is up for any challenge to save Lunchbox Productions...

'A gloriously warm, funny and relatable story from bestselling author, much-loved comedian, writer, radio announcer and social media sensation Tanya Hennessy.' (Publication summary)

'A delightfully funny and deeply relatable junior fiction story from one of Australia's most loved multi-media stars.

'Hi there. My name is Stevie. NOT Steven. I mean, you can call me Steven if you MUST, literally everyone does... including my own mum.

'But my ACTUAL name is Stevie Louise Mason. I'm twelve years old. I love reading, and watching musicals, TV and films. I like English, HATE Maths and I LOVE acting. And today, I am going to ask the Brooke Street kids the Most Important Question of their lives!

'Stevie has a BRILLIANT PLAN. She's going to have fun, make money, and most importantly, make sure the Brooke Street kids stay best friends forever.

'Then a new neighbour arrives and threatens to derail all Stevie's plans. And then real disaster strikes. But the show must go on. After all, Stevie is a professional.

'A gloriously warm, funny and relatable story from much-loved comedian, writer, radio announcer and social media sensation Tanya Hennessy.'
1 y separately published work icon Am I Doing This Right? : Life Lessons from the Encyclopedia Bri-Tanya Tanya Hennessy , Crows Nest : Allen and Unwin , 2019 17355155 2019 selected work prose autobiography 'An honest, hilarious, and incredibly relatable A-Z guide to adulting from one of Australia's most loved entertainers and radio presenters.

'Tanya Hennessy can't tell the time on an analogue clock, was once employed as a stilt-walker and still sleeps with Morris, her childhood teddy bear, so naturally, she is the most qualified person to write a guidebook for growing up.

'AM I DOING THIS RIGHT? is an encyclopedia of life lessons that Tanya has learned so that you don't have to. From A is for Awkward, to B is for Bodies, right through to V is for Viral and Z is for, well, ZZZZ, Tanya has compiled an entire alphabet full of hilarious, horrible, humbling and happy experiences that will make you laugh, cry and ultimately leave you feeling less alone in this complicated world.'  (Publication summary)
