Naked Bunyip Dancing

Herrick delves into the murky waters of a Year 6 classroom, complete with nerdy vegetarian teacher, Mr Carey. What a crazy class! And what a funny, unpredictable year the year of Naked Bunyip Dancing when the kids in class 6C find out who they are, what they re good at, and how to put on a fantastic show. This cast of likeable characters includes Mr Carey the Hairy, Billy the punk genius, J-man the rapper, Sophie the poet, Ahmet the soccer star, Jason the good kisser, Anna the yoga master, Peter the boy with the talking bottom, Emily the ballerina, Alex the artist, and Michael the salesman. With Carey the Hairy as their teacher, the students in class 6C are trying out strange, new activities from belly dancing to poetry jams. Mr Carey teaches the class with humor and grace- and the class of eleven and twelve year olds responds with eagerness and a passion for learning. Each student has a story to tell- and each student is valued, and encouraged to strive to excellence by the unconventional teacher. The night of the class concert will undoubtedly be one of the best nights of their lives.
