Eileen O'Hely doesn't
write the most scary books. Or the most realistic. She does, however, write
some of the best. In BestBooks4ever's interview with her, she revealed that
she isn't planning on finishing the Penny series with Penny the Athlete.
In 2009 (I think) Penny on Safari is coming. After that, there's
Penny in Space. It's kind of hard to think of how a little pencil form a
raid-hared, freckled boy's pencil case could get to Space, but she's already
fought in a war (of sorts) she's been on TV, she's been a private detective
(kinda) and and entered a Olympics... sort of.
A bit about the
books (thanks to www.eileenohely.com.):
Penny the Pencil is very good at spelling, maths and fighting off
her arch enemy, the evil Black Texta.
Penny's first adventure
Penny the detective.
