Description

This full coloured, illustrated story book tells of the roller coaster emotional journeys of Royce, aged ten, and his nine-year-old sister, Deloyce, whose parents announce plans to separate and eventually divorce. The story addresses a number of issues in an amusing, age appropriate, reassuring style. The main focus is on the reactions of the young people to their parents decision and the period of time leading up to the day when, by parental agreement, Dad leaves the family home and moves into an apartment. The children call this day of departure M-day (Move day). Readers are assisted by a friendly guide called Cody who invents a clever word and provides information within each of the chapters plus a mind tingling brainteaser at the end of the story. Deloyce and Royce fear M-day and readers accompany them as they try to cope with unexpected thoughts, feelings, and experiences plus some weird but funny adventures.

Author Biography:

Author, Peta Michael-Gomory, has a degree in education and completed post graduate studies in drug education and understanding challenging children. She commenced her career as a school teacher and also held senior positions in educational research, policy analysis, and speech writing prior to her retirement. Petas parents, who divorced when she was twelve years old, both remarried and so she claims with trademark humour that her life has contained elevators and many steps including, at various stages in her life, a stepmother, stepfather, and stepson. Contentedly divorced and living in Australia, Peta continues to have a strained relationship with golf clubs and courses and is currently writing a sequel to this book drawing upon a range of experiences including being a devoted aunty and a former stepmother.
