Big Things

David Rogerson

Summary

Grover is a man of small routines, not big responsibilities. When his sister asks him to babysit her two kids, Alex and Jennifer, he reluctantly agrees. It’s just for one night after all. But nothing could have prepared him for what comes next.
 
In the wake of sudden tragedy, Grover finds himself unexpectedly thrust into the role of guardian. Convinced the children would be better off with their grandmother, he decides to take them on a cross-country road trip to ease them into the idea of their new life.
 
The roadside attractions aren’t the only big things they encounter on their journey. The trio meet larger-than-life new friends and find themselves embroiled in a media storm as their simple road trip quickly becomes something much bigger. Along the way Grover, Alex and Jennifer begin to confront their grief and fears, and they form an unconventional, yet powerful bond. As past wounds resurface, Grover must face the ghosts he’s long avoided and decide what kind of future he wants - and what kind of future he deserves.
 
Full of humour, pop culture and heart, BIG THINGS is a story of second chances and family, set against the stunning backdrop of Australia.

Jagdish Arora

Amelia had always been known for her compassionate nature. From a young age, she exhibited a deep empathy towards all living beings, whether they were human or animals. Her friends often marvelled at how she could sense the emotions of others and offer comfort in times of need. It was as if her heart had an innate ability to connect with the pain and joy that surrounded her. 
Living in a small village nestled near the edge of a vast, enchanted forest, Amelia found herself in a world where nature's beauty was both her playground and her solace. The village was known for its close-knit community, where everyone looked out for one another. Amelia's compassion naturally found a home here, as she often volunteered to help the elderly, tended to injured birds, and offered a listening ear to those who sought her out. 
One cool autumn day, as the leaves began to change their colours and the air carried a hint of impending winter, Amelia decided to take a solitary walk into the heart of the enchanting forest. She had always felt a deep connection to the wild, untouched parts of nature, where she could hear the whispers of the trees and feel the heartbeat of the earth beneath her feet.
