Cat is like any other teenager who wants to fight the powers that be. There's just one complication . . . her mother is the Prime Minister of Australia. Catalina Parkes Pérez is used to living a pretty normal life. But when her mum is thrust into the role of Prime Minister, Cat's life becomes anything but. Life at The Lodge means having every moment scheduled and every outfit pre-approved. But it's not just the dinner parties and daggy dresses - Cat and her mum disagree on practically everything, especially the government's climate policy. Now someone is trying to sabotage the new Prime Minister - putting Cat, and everything she loves, in danger. Will she, with the help of some new friends, be able to make things right, for her family and the country? Inspired by the original program created by Tristram Baumber and Matthew Allred, as seen on ABC TV.

You are an 18th-century convict faced with a fate potentially worse than death: to be sent to one of the new English colonies in Australia, where you will face hardship, isolation and great danger at the razor edge of colonial enterprise. "You Wouldn't Want To Be" is a constantly-growing library of exciting titles which transport the reader to the grisliest times and places in history. The first-person narrative approach puts the reader in the shoes of some of the most unfortunate people ever to have lived. Humorous cartoon-style illustrations bring the characters to life, while informative captions explain processes or chronological events.
