THAI-RIFFIC and THAI-NO-MITE

by Oliver Phommavanh

(Junior fiction 10- 14 yrs)


Thai-riffic and Thai-no-mite (the next instalment of the series) tells the story of Lengy, Australian born, but of Thai descent.  Lengy just wants to eat burgers or pizzas but this is a bit difficult when your parents run the local Thai restaurant. Thai-riffic is a funny, enjoyable novel and is a sensitive look at cultural diversity. Oliver Phommavanh is a stand-up comic and teacher and he says that his books are guaranteed 5 laughs a second.  Read it and find out for yourself!
I thought it was very funny and even though it is aimed for younger teens it would still be an easy but enjoyable read for older readers.
