Andrew Joyner is an illustrator and cartoonist published internationally in newspapers and magazines including THE SUNDAY AGE, THE AGE, SYDNEY MORNING HERALD, SUN-HERALD, SOUTH CHINA MONRING POST, and READER'S DIGEST. He has illustrated books by humorists Ross Campbell and Wendy Harmer. THE TERRIBLE PLOP was his first picture book and most recently, he has produced a series of chapter books featuring Boris, a loveable warthog. He lives in Strathalbyn, South Australia.
Boris the adventure-seeking warthog is back for field day. He would love, just once, to beat Eddie, who not only wins everything but does so with a smirk on his entitled face. With the help of his parents, Boris sets up a backyard training field where he and his best friends Alice and Frederick practice and dream of field day glory. Boris continues to charm, in no small part because of Joyner’s humorous comic-style illustrations. There is a sweetly surprising ending that reinforces the importance of sportsmanship and loyalty even while reaching for gold. Tips for setting up one’s own backyard obstacle course round off this winning title in the Branches early chapter-book series. Grades K-2. --Kara Dean
