REVIEW of The Great Snowball Escapade by Author and Illustrator Angela Cater
Wilhemena has had a rotten Christmas, thanks to her mean cousin Bud coming to stay. Things don’t get any better when she returns to school – not only is Bud in the same class, but she has to sit next to him! Bud is the school bully. He dictates who is allowed to play and where, he fights with Wil and her friends, deliberately gets her into trouble with teachers and her Mum, and there is no getting away from him because now he lives in her home!
Bud’s parents are going through a divorce, and Wil’s Mum encourages her to be understanding and nice to Bud, but that’s not easy when he’s so mean.
“The Great Snowball Escapade” has a believable and likeable heroine and children will easily identify with her and the situations she finds herself in. The book is effectively illustrated throughout with simple line-drawings.
Do Bud and Wil finally sort out their differences? You’ll just have to read the book to find out.

Hello JD Holiday,
Thank you for this article. It tells a lot about the "why" in writing, but for most writers, we have to write because it is our "breathing" - we'll suffocate inwardly if we don't! Enjoyed this!

Yes! Show me someone who loves a rainy day,
and I will show you someone who loves life.
