Kipp The Kid

By Paul Day

All Kipp wants to do is explore the old local mines with his dog Nip. But when girl next door Jane enters the picture, his life becomes more complex, more frustrating and far more interesting. Reluctantly at first, Kipp allows her to join him on his adventures. But if he had known what that would mean, he would surely have thought twice. For his world is about to be thrown into a tail spin and Kipp will have to draw on all his wits, if he is to come out the other side unscathed.

This book is suited to ages 11 and up. But adults as well as young people will enjoy this, especially if you are a fan of some of the classics, such as Tom Sawyer or Pip and the Convict. This has elements of the classics, infused with the modern style. Set in the 1950s, this story follows the adventures of local lad, Kipp as he explores the old mines. The story is set in and around the historical Moonta Mines in South Australia. A place famous for its unique Cornish Heritage and its deep mining roots. This book is more than just a tale of wits. It is a love story, a drama, an adventure all rolled neatly into one book.

Paul Day

Paul G Day specializes in books aimed at children and young adults. He has a unique narrative style designed to draw the reader's attention to the images of the setting as well as the predicament of the protagonist. Through human and non human characters, his books tell a very human drama and the complicated emotional journey we all sometimes find ourselves taking as we search for meaning and answers to profound and often confronting questions. Every one of his characters reflect a personality which has its beginning in the heart and mind of the writer himself. Paul's stories are about love, loyalty, family and courage. They represent a coming of age, where the central character must learn and grow in order to survive the complex and sometimes unforgiving world about them. Paul believes in strong young characters who stubbornly and sometimes defiantly challenge the troubles that compound their lives, finding a way, even in the darkest, bleakest moments of their otherwise unremarkable existence, to overcome adversity, thereby ultimately becoming extraordinary.
