When Dad is elected to Federal Parliament, Ludo grabs the chance to make Australia an even better place.

With a relatable and endearing main character and exploring important themes including homelessness, bullying, freedom of speech, and family, Help Around the House will inspire young readers to ask important questions about the world around them and encourage them to focus on what truly matters.

Get ready for a heart-warming, adventure-filled, and eye-opening read. Perfect for 8+ readers.
