Wordburger is David Astle’s latest book geared for younger readers and is packed with word puzzles, tongue twisters and brain teasers – all the ingredients needed to solve cryptic crosswords and become a champion word puzzler!
This deliciously wordy feast for clever kids has received many accolades of late and has been selected as a recommended titled in the Kids’ Reading Guide 2015-16.
The Kids’ Book Review have given Wordburger the thumbs up, with a hearty warning ‘The entire book is totally entertaining, so reader beware, for this book will take up permanent residence at home once you look into it.’
Wordburger fans in Sydney will also have a chance to see the real David Astle in action with events in NSW poised to be announced. Stay tuned HERE. This comes off the back of the Wordburger session in Melbourne’s Wheeler Centre booking out a month in advance.
And if you missed out on seeing David live, don’t despair as there is now also an app! Check out a whole stack more of Wordburger goodness with beginner cryptic crosswords to solve HERE.
So, jump to it! If you haven’t already taken a bite of this delicious book, now is the time!
