Pyjama Days — Lenny Pelling

When they're stuck inside during the school holidays, at least Polly and Jez have their imaginations to keep them company

Best friends Polly and Jez like to do the same things -- even when they're thousands of miles apart. When Jez gets sick and has to stay in bed for two whole weeks, all she can do is read. It's lucky there are so many books about pirates, dinosaurs, and mermaids for her to enjoy. Polly is stuck in one place too. But with the help of Jez's letters, she has her imagination to escape the boredom. The quietest town in Australia has never been so exciting.
