If you’re a kid with an interest in zombie bums, not-very-merry merry-go-rounds, ninja snail training academies, gorillagrams or exploding butterflies, you already know who Andy Griffiths is. And if you don’t, here’s your chance to find out.
Probably the most popular – and certainly the silliest – children’s author in Australia, Andy is best known for the Just series, the Treehouse books, the Bum series … and for causing you to convulse with laughter.
Andy is also a passionate advocate for literacy and a man whose mission is to make reading fun for even the most reluctant readers.

For children aged 6 to 12 years.
Presented in partnership with Red Hot Arts Central Australia, Alice Desert Festival.
