International titles[edit]

The title of the books vary from country to country, but since the books were first published in Australia, the Australian version title will be used. --Spe bi 07:38, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WP:ENGVAR – "Articles that focus on a topic specific to a particular English-speaking country should generally conform to the usage and spelling of that country." In this case the author is Australian, so Australian English is to be used throughout the article and the book titles are to remain as the Australian titles. --Spe bi 21:41, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

How old is the Andy in the books —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 124.180.75.102 (talk • contribs).

This discussion page is for improvements to the articl and not for general discussion of the topic – But I'll answer your query anyway. I think he is around 12 or 13 years of age, and his sister is also said to be 16 in the books so he can't be much younger. –Se bi ~ 01:02, 23 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

About the article[edit]

This article could probably use a little more information about, well, everything. More about the books, more about the childhood of Andy and more about his current life. Its a good start though, so keep up the good work! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.24.182.131 (talk • contribs).

I agree, this article (while with good references) needs ALOT of work. His website provides alot of information about him. The information that has been included in this article is not nearly enough for a Wikipedia article. Alot more information needs to be put in so that it is a full article — Preceding unsigned comment added by 222.123.170.98 (talk) 03:33, 27 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think this article needs a picture. Teleram (talk) 03:29, 5 January 2013 (UTC) Teleram[reply]
