Bungawitta
The land's as dry as a dead galah. There's no rain in sight, and only twelve people left in town. Little Glory-Alice blames it all on the TV weatherman.
'It's funny , fair dinkum and showcases true Aussie pluck as a couple of children star in an audacious attempt to save their town from drought. The characters are imbued with Rodda's rogue sense of humour and bought to life by her laconic writing and Craig Smith's superb illustrations.' Magpies Magazine Feb2011

Sister Madge’s Book of Nuns
Some five-star books never go out of fashion. Sister Madge's Book of Nuns is just as fiendishly funny as it was 26 years ago when it was first published. Written in comic verse, this book introduces us to Sister Madge Mappin and the other eccentric inhabitants of the Convent of Our Lady of Immense Prioportions. There's Sister Bossy, who gets her just deserts when she reaches heaven's gate; Sister Helga, who's grown antlers on her head; and Sister Stephanie, who rides a Harley and has a vulture called Charlie.
All these crazy nuns are bought to life in great detail by Craig Smith's very funny and witty illustrations. It's all such irreverent fun. From Good Reading Magazine 2012.
