I am very excited about this fantastic opportunity. I doubt, at this point, that I will be reading Surprise!; instead, I will read aloud my award winning short story ‘The Appointment’

Just wondering what this book is about as you haven’t included a description on this site – unless I’ve missed it. I came through the BlogHer network and am interested to learn more about what this book is about.

Dear Trisha,

Thanks for asking this question – it has made me realise that there is a brief synopsis missing from the site. To answer your question, here’s the official blurb:

*****
Hamish, Alice, Meg and Thomas are four very different children with one thing in common – they love surprises!

And you’ll love yours at the end of this story.

*****

I’m afraid there’s not much else I can say without giving away the entire plot, as it’s only a 350 word picture book! I hope that satifies your curiosity!

Thank you again,

Regards,

Karen
