The Adventures of a Late Night Swearer

Speedy Simpson is the best at everything at Oompha Primary School, at least he is until Bebe LaMouche arrives in town. Bebe can swear better than anyone the children have ever heard. And what’s more, she always manages to get away with it.

Desperate to outdo her, Speedy sets about finding himself the perfect swear word. When he does, he rolls it around in his mouth and his head until, finally having perfected it, Speedy can contain it no more and the word takes on a life of its own!

A funny adventure story from the author of the 2008 CBCA Notable Book, Star of the Circus.

Nette Hilton

Nette spent her early childhood in a small country town in Victoria, moving to Sydney when she was 11. She didn’t adjust well to life in a city high school and her memories of this time are still with her and are reflected in her writing. After school, she ‘floundered around for several years trying to work in office situations’, but eventually gave up and went bush. For 12 months she worked on a sheep station, had another go at office work, and then decided to train as a teacher.
