The year 6's when to NYLD it is a acronym meaning national young leaders day!   There is  several story's in one book! the  story i loved was the stinky sock. My favourite part of the hole entire story was when they found a person covered in tattoos it was scary! then a little boy looked at his tattoos then all of a sudden the tattoos jumped on the boys body! The scary part of the story was when the little boy's dad found a naked woman in the dump!    Hopefully Miss Love reads more of that book because Paul Jennings is a great author and his story are a cliffhanger!
