About this ebook
Honest, insightful, funny - a brilliant memoir about writing and teaching and life from one of Australia's most loved children's authors.
In the telling of his own tale, children's author and screenwriter Paul Jennings demonstrates how seemingly small events can combine into a compelling drama. As if assembling the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle he puts together fragments, memories and anecdotes to reveal the portrait of a complex and weathered soul.
The accounts of the trials and joys of turning his stories into episodes of the television program Round The Twist will be of special interest to the millions of fans of this series. Untwisted is revealing, moving and very funny.
Paul Jennings has crafted perhaps his most masterful story yet ...the story of his life.
