The Very Special Tractor
This book introduces the reader to Joey, a 9 ½ year old boy, who lives with his Mum and Dad in the small town of Marion Ponds.
Joey lives in his dad’s Grandpa’s house, that his family moved into, before Joey was born.

The boys are talking about what else they could do during their school holidays, when Brick says, “Let’s go camping” and the other boys chime in “That’d be cool. Yeah let’s do it tomorrow!”
But this is the first time the boys would be going camping on their own.
So find out what happens when Joey goes home to ask permission.
