You might think history is… dusty, musty and full of old people doing old things in olden times – boring! But here’s the truth: history and HASS only get boring when you leave out the gross bits, the gory bits, the weird bits, and the totally true-but-utterly-wild bits. Luckily for you, this book is bursting with all of that! It’s packed with silly-but-serious stories, fun-but-frightening facts, and a few completely ridiculous tales about the PESKY PRISONERS OF ST HELENA ISLAND, a grim prison on an island in Brisbane’s Moreton Bay. WARNING: This book is not for the faint-hearted, the easily grossed-out, or anyone who says “ew” too often. Don’t say we didn’t warn you!
