About this ebook
In this fun children's book, The Gypsy Curse, we meet again a tunnel digging terrier who carries a diamond encrusted nail file. A large dog for which the complexities of door handles are a complete mystery and who, instead, opens everything with his head. As well as, a commando, khaki wearing Blue heeler who is armed with a hunting bone and a smell grenade. All are part of a team of dogs who work for a secret organisation. This organisation exists without detection and operates right under our very noses. Its sole purpose is to save dogs from neglect and to save each other too! Tinka, the Gypsy Cat, sets a curse on Astro and the gang. She evens tricks the cunning evil genius, Speed Bump Charlie. Tinka is able to predict where the dogs are going to stage their next rescue mission. Then she sends the dog catcher to capture them and he takes them to the Check Out! The one place all dogs fear! But how does she know? Does she really have special powers or is it some kind of trick? Will our team realise that there is a spy amongst them? Will they be able to rescue Dingo and the other dogs from the Check Out before it's too late? Will they be able to find the gypsy camp and stop Tinka before all the dogs are captured?!
About the author
Susan Day travelled around the world twice before she was seven years old. It was the sixties and the cheapest way to circumnavigate the globe was by cruise ship. It seemed only fitting that the wonderful events she experienced and the places she visited on these journeys be recorded for history. Thus, her story telling skills began. Firstly, to Rupert Bear, her lifelong companion, and then to a host of imaginary friends and finally to her pet dog once the family finally set down roots in Australia. From her Irish heritage she learnt how to tell a good story well and the importance of storytelling in the re-living of her family's past and present experiences. Her mother taught her that a good story should make people laugh then cry. But if you can make people cry with laughter then you've achieved something worthwhile. Susan lives with her dogs, in particular, Rocky the Border collie and Stella, the blind dog. She is a canine behaviourist by trade and spends her time writing and illustrating; training and counselling dogs and being bossed around by the family cat, Speed Bump Charlie.
