- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 08 Jul, 2026 at 02:00 pm – Wed, 08 Jul, 2026 at 03:30 pm
- **Event Description**: He was built for small things. But he dreams of adventure.
All Half wants is a life free from Electricians.
He’s sick of being shoved into remote controls, clocks, and talking toys.
But it’s hard to escape when you’re a rechargeable lithium-ion AA battery.
Half dreams of adventure. Real adventure.
The kind he just doesn’t... have... the... energy... for.
Then he meets Hope, a brave little alkaline with a spark of her own.
Together, they set off to see how far two batteries can really go.
To the edge of the lounge room?
The borders of the house?
Beyond... into Space?
There’s just one catch: Half doesn’t hold charge like he used to.
Can a half-full battery still go the distance?
As part of the 2026 SPARK Ipswich Festival, join Lawrey Goodrick in The Book Bouquet, as he reads from his new novel Half Life: the AA Battery adventure. When the story concludes, learn how he created the characters from the book in a fun and engaging illustrations workshop. Using your new knowledge of illustrating you will then be drawing and colouring your own AA battery family canvas portrait to take home.
This 1 1/2-hour workshop is suitable for children ages 7-12years and all resources are provided. Optional ticket price can include a copy of the book which has been signed by the author.
Half-Life was longlisted for the 2025 Gertrude Warner Book Awards novel competition for Middle Grade Fiction.
