School’s out, and Lucy is excited to return to the cosmic laundry room she’s discovered in her house, ready for her next space adventure. The portal opens when her mother tells Lucy stories about her work as a space scientist. Now she wants Mum to tell her about the International Space Station, in the hope that the portal will take her there. But then Dad arrives in a run-down motorhome called Madeline, and announces that the family are going on a road trip. Not only are Lucy’s space adventure plans foiled, she’s also expected to share a cramped old van with her smelly brother Zac! Will she survive and find some magic during this trip, or will sharing with Zac lead to disaster?
International Outhouse is the second book in the Loopy Lucy series.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
