Book Trailer: TALL STORY by Candy Gourlay

Andi desperately hopes her long lost half brother Bernardo will be as mad on basketball as she is. But when he steps off the plane from the Philippines, she cant believe her eyes. How did he get to be EIGHT FOOT TALL? An eight-foot-tall boy who is about to crash into her life with his size 22 feet.

But Bernardo is not what he seems. Bernardo is a hero, Bernardo works miracles, and Bernardo has an amazing story to tell.

A bittersweet story, funny, sad and magical...

For readers 10 to 100 plus!

"Tall Story combines wry humour and profound comment on cultural identity convincing, witty and poignant" The Bookseller childrens book choice for June 2010

"Marvellous ... Tall Story is the kind of book which even as early as in January you can say will be one of the best in 2010." Book Witch

Thanks to my brother Armand Quimpo, who did the drawings and animation; my sister in law Candice Lopez Quimpo, who developed the script and concept; and voice talents: Mia Gourlay, Kevin So and Andrew Lewis.
