First-time author - Peta Poletta

We've been hearing about the latest The New Zealand Post Book Awards for Children and Young Adults, but one author already has her eye on the 2015 awards, perhaps unexpectedly so. Peta Poletti has just published her very first children's book after being dared to write it by a friend. The book is called 'I Dare - A Wire Wizard' and it's about a problem-solving kid who always has his trusty number eight wire at hand.
