Survival Guides

“The Supernatural Survival Guide is the kind of book you can safely gift to the tweens/ teens of your acquaintance and know they will actually want to read it.”

“This book entertains while encouraging critical thinking.”

“Love it – a LOT! and I highly recommend it for your readers from curious 8-year-olds up to…well, adults really.”

“This is an absolute must for public and school libraries and will be read and re-read many times.”

“The language used is chatty and casual, which makes it engaging and entertaining. However, along the way the amount of information imparted to the reader is accurate and detailed.”

“This book is sure to be a hit for primary and first few years of high school aged children.”

“George is one of those amazing authors who can skillfully turn his hand to adept and engaging writing across many genres. The fact that he is just a tiny bit crazy (eccentric?) is a bonus…”

“Showing how flexible and adept a writer he is, his narrative speaks directly to his audience in language that kids use, and with his usual unsuppressed childish humour. ”

“The Human Body Survival Guide is a great way to jazz up the science and literacy classroom”

“One can imagine a young reader totally engaged in the fascinating information which is revealed throughout the book.”

“George Ivanoff delights in grossing out his readers with details but at the same time he is informing them about the many ways in which our bodies function.”

“The author cleverly uses a fictional 13-year-old boy who’s reluctantly travelling around Australia with his family as the book’s narrator. This highly relatable character plays a large part in dispelling the fear factor for readers 9+ years.”

“George Ivanoff is not just a pretty face. Under that luxuriant mop of ever-changing hair there’s an inventive and clever brain which can produce not only awesome adventures of the fictional kind for readers but now the ultimate field guide to surviving in the harsh reality of the Australian landscape.”

“With its practical nature, appealing layout and focus on things that fascinate, it could be the perfect foundation for Term 4 investigations.”

“Celebrate all that is Australia with its quirky flora, fauna and environment in this fun yet educational book perfect for primary schoolers.”

I liked the book because it has lots of fact boxes about different animals. I think this book would suit both boys or girls aged 7 to 11.”

“Humour is used to great effect throughout, making this important information entertaining and accessible. You can tell that Ivanoff had more than a little fun writing this book.”

“One could imagine the target market for this book – children aged from nine years plus – spending countless hours reading and dipping into the 175 pages.”

“From the author of the interactive You Choose series, comes a reference book with a modern twist.”
“Ivanoff has created a reference book that speaks to the screen dominated youth of today.”
