REPRINTING

The Adventures of Pete Paddock-Basher

Once Pete was a brand new car with flash black tyres and sparkling chrome. Then he became a worn-out old paddock basher on a farm. But Pete’s adventures didn’t stop there! Come for a ride with this brand new edition of rollicking stories about a lovable old car. Six fun-filled Pete adventures in one book!
When we meet this old, worn-out car, Pete Paddock Basher, he lives out on a farm, under a tree, with magpies tap dancing on his roof, rats nesting on his back seat, and kids driving him across the paddock to meet the school bus every morning! But when two bumbling robbers need a getaway car, poor old Pete gets nabbed and so begins The Adventures of Pete Paddock Basher.

Each of these six slapstick stories sees Pete end up in loads of unexpected, hilarious situations. Read about his kidnapping by Krankshaft Kev for the Krazy Kars Demolition Darby; laugh along when Pete is abducted by aliens; clown around with Pete when he joins the circus; and meet a whole array of vibrant characters along the way.
