One of two copies. Just email win@threethousand.com.au with the subject ‘Ginger Nut'
'Blood nut' is a funny noun. It's both affectionate and slightly offensive. Special Kev is a blood nut (according to his Uncle Nobby, who reckons that they are ‘nearly extinct, like cassowaries'). Kev doesn't seem to be too phased about this. He's too busy tying Nicky Bathgate to a tree.
Make no mistake, this is a children's picture book. But with illustrations by Chris McKimmie and a refreshing use of red-related language it's also a book for adults. McKimmie is reputed for his freehand lines over acrylic landscapes. His words however, are of equal magic. Unfolding across the page straight from Special Kev's mouth, McKimmie's pen is six years old; naïve, honest and frequently hilarious.
