I'm not entirely sure, but I don't think I knew the term "toast soldiers" when I was growing up (in Cape Town, South Africa). Where exactly I picked it up is a mystery - I'll be interested to see what others reply, because now I am wondering if it is just an Australianism, or more widely spread.

PS I won't be able to make the book club on Friday because I'll be at work. I haven't read the book yet, so I'll be interested to hear what others think of the read.

PPS Thank you for your support at last week's launch - it was very much appreciated!

I used the book Wonder with a reading class and it was a big success; it's a beautiful story. Then the kids made something inspired by the book. I made a sugar pyramid (at least my craftsman did!!) And I was sad to ditch that prop when I retired.
