The second in Tim Harris's ridiculously entertaining Toffle Towers series that will make kids laugh out loud – and get their imaginations soaring.
Tim Harris is one of the most exciting children’s authors in
Australia. His first series of books, Exploding Endings, will have
primary-aged readers both captivated and laughing out loud. The
first book in the series, Painted Dogs & Doom Cakes, was awarded
Honour Book at the 2017 KOALAs. His second series, Mr Bambuckle’s
Remarkables, contains his trademark quirkiness, mixed with a touch
of poignancy, with the lead book being awarded a CBCA Notable in
2018.
A former primary school teacher of 15 years, and advocate for
creativity and short stories, Tim’s presentations and workshops are
dynamic and entertaining. He is a sought-after presenter, having
worked in over a hundred schools in 2016 and 2017 alone.
Tim lives in Sydney with his wife and three young children. Rupert
Degas is a prolific audiobook narrator with decades of experience
narrating audiobooks, with some 300 titles to his credit. His
extensive catalogue showcases his remarkable ability to bring
different characters to life with his voice. He has received
particular critical acclaim for his performances of The Name of the
Wind and The Wise Man’s Fear by Patrick Rothfuss and for
Skulduggery Pleasant by Derek Landy.
In 2022 Rupert was inducted as a Golden Voice by AudioFile
Magazine. What is a Golden Voice? According to AudioFile, 'a Golden
Voice narrator exemplifies the very best in audiobook talent, and
AudioFile bestows the highest honour in audiobook narration on
voice artists who have made significant contributions to the
audiobook art form'. Since 1992 AudioFile has given this lifetime
achievement honour to just 38 audiobook narrators including Miriam
Margolyes, Jim Dale, Martin Jarvis, and Derek Jacobi. Great company
indeed!

30 animated films and series including Bob the Builder, The Amazing
World of Gumball, Thomas & Friends and The Wild Adventures of
Blinky Bill. Rupert has performed in many radio series and video
games, as well as voicing thousands of commercials and promos. He
also sometimes appears on film, TV and stage, most notably in the
original London productions of Stones in His Pockets and The 39

Best Comedy.
'A super fun laugh-out-loud story.'
