COVER REVEAL! REAL PIGEONS STAY COO! In Aus & NZ s

COVER REVEAL! REAL PIGEONS STAY COO! In Aus & NZ stores 3rd November! We are so excited about this book – the tenth in the series!

The Real Pigeons are great crime-fighters – because most people ignore pigeons.

But when a video of the pigeons goes online, they are suddenly FAMOUS. It's much harder to solve mysteries when everyone is always watching.

And there are MANY mysteries that need solving.

🔎Like who has committed a SLIME CRIME?
🔎How did a flock of ROLLING PIGEONS vanish into thin air?
🔎And why would anyone try to catch FRILLBACK in a cage?

Can the Real Pigeons STAY COO in the spotlight? Or are their crime-fighting days over?

[Image description: A picture that shows a book cover that says Real Pigeons Stay Coo, along with names Andrew McDonald and Ben Wood. The book cover showed five pigeons waving and smiling. Slime is dripping from above and about to land on one pigeons head. Text next to the cover reads Cover Reveal and Out Nov!]

Posted @withregram • @randomhousekids A middle-school super villain (in training)? A flock of crime-fighting pigeons? An overheated pup who finds his calm by the sea?

Sounds like it’s time to soak up the summer sun with a silly story (or two) in tote. ☀️

It feels quite surreal visiting schools again after the last few years. I’m visiting big and small regional schools- some schools are so small- there were 12 students at one! Having a really great time. Already pooped. 😂

I’m on a school tour this week in regional NSW.

By some good book fortune I was able to read an advance reading copy of Take a Bow, Noah Mitchell by @tobias_madden. I read Anything But Fine earlier this year and really loved it. I loved it so much that I now recommend it to anyone who will listen- and this is how I ended up being loaned an ARC of Noah! 😂 Take a Bow, Noah Mitchell is such great writing. I laughed and squealed and stressed out and I may have even shed a tear or two at times. Loved it! September can’t come soon enough!

My advance copies of Real Pigeons Duck Trouble have arrived! It is pretty and funny and I am so happy with it. It’s always a strange moment getting the real life version of a book. Everything looks new and I can see it with fresh eyes- and be happy with everything I did ha.

@mrandrewmcdonald and I are really upping the stakes in this one. The REAL PIGEONS have been discovered by some SECRET AGENTS. Will they work together? Maybe. Will they be good at it? Probably not. And are there SECRET AGENT inventions? Yes! Of course! In Aus & NZ stores 4th May!
