Join bestselling author Craig Silvey for a joyful and entertaining afternoon as he launches his much-anticipated new novel, Runt and the Diabolical Dognapping—the hilarious and heartfelt sequel to his beloved Australian favourite, Runt. 

Six weeks have passed since Annie Shearer and her extraordinary dog Runt stole the show at the Krumpets Dog Show. The town of Upson Downs is thriving—but when Runt mysteriously disappears and a ransom note appears, Annie and her brother Max must crack the case and compete in the Tournament of Champions to save their furry friend. 

Craig will be joined in conversation by Nicky Lefebvre (Augusta Margaret River Mail), for an engaging discussion about writing for young readers, canine capers, and crafting stories that capture hearts. 

This event is open to all ages and perfect for families, young readers, and dog lovers. Come along for an afternoon full of laughs, heart, and adventure!
