Red Haze

There was a fabulous review of Red Haze in The Age on Saturday by Dianne Dempsey. Leon has now been shortlisted in both the CBCA Awards and in the NZ Post Awards for his previous book Scarecrow Army - so it has been a sweet week. Congratulations Leon. And Dianne nailed what black dog has been aiming to do: "interpret history for children … without ever being patronizing".
