After Terence's excitement in Africa, I thought it was time to bring him home to Townsville. There are heaps of action, silliness, and humorous events in Terence in Townsville.If Terence didn't ride his bike into a thorn bush, he fell off his bike and landed on his head on a cement bridge. Then there was the day when confusion broke out on the farm - and another day when Terence had heaps of fun with a relief teacher called Mr. Pink Longneck, who was standing in for their regular teacher Mrs. Tender Turkeybottom.Terence also had an embarrassing moment at a national church conference. And don't forget about the big 'Footy' evening in Townsville, where the action turned into a near-disaster!Talk about 'near-disasters' - the last chapter is called 'Christmas Turkey' for a reason!Who needs to travel overseas if there is so much action in your own backyard?The question remains:Who will be served as the dinner meal for the farmer and his wife during the Christmas of 2022?Enjoy the NON-STOP action, silliness, and fun in Terence's own backyard!Enjoy the FUN SHEET after every chapter with life lessons, farm facts, quizzes, and Bible scriptures!

My experience and adventures as a primary school teacher during the last 15 years inspired me to write the 'Terence the Turkey' series. The students loved it when I read some of the stories to them after lunch time. My students were between eight and eleven years of age. Their response were always clapping and cheering - they just loved Terence. Now, in book format, I am convinced that children between seven and eleven years of age would love the adventures of 'Terence the Turkey'.Terence lives on a farm near Townsville with his loving parents Tommy and Teresa. He has a big bully of an older brother called Todd, as well as a loving little sister called Tammy. The book consists of short, funny, fictitious stories, with most adventures taking place on the farm with a variety of other animals. The main character is off course Terence, and he is well supported by others like Gopher the goose, Baby the bull, Patrick the pig, Ernie the eagle, Gerald the goat, Uncle Murdock, the Fearfeathers, and Aunt Suzie the swan.As the author, my main idea is to tell funny and interesting stories in every chapter. Readers will find a FUN SHEET at the end of the chapters. The fun sheet should be fun, but it can also be an educational tool for parents, schools, and even children-church programs. There are scriptures to be completed, life lessons, a variety of 'monkey puzzle' (multichoice) questions, vocabulary to be filled in, as well as a 'Go Quiz' with interesting facts about the chapter. The answers to all the questions are provided at the back of the book.'Terence the Turkey' will soon be followed up by 'Terence in Africa' - as this second book is completed and being edited at the moment. I am currently working on two more adventure books where Terence will be travelling to places like New Zealand!
