From one of the all-time greats of Australian children's books, bestselling author Paul Jennings, come three twisting tales of intrigue.

The forest is dense and dark.

And the trail full of unexpected perils.

The dog can't move. The boy can't talk.

And you won't know why. Or where you are going.

You will put this story down not wanting the journey to end.

The trickiest teller of tales and the master of surprise endings will take you into dense and dark forests, across vast oceans and on to lands of the imagination far from home.

All the Different stories together in one volume:

A Different Dog

A Different Boy

A Different Land

Paul Jennings is best known for his funny, shocking, amazing short stories that usually end with a twist in the tale, starting with his first short story collection, Unreal!, which has sold over 600,000 copies. Since then, Paul has written over 70 books, and many of his stories were adapted for the cult classic children's television series Round the Twist.
