Hello everyone! I've had such an amazing month since I last wrote my Editor's letter. I got to hang out with Sofia Wylie from Andi Mack - last issue's cover star! She's currently filming a movie here in Sydney, so we got to meet up and she signed some posters and magazines for us. How kind is she? We had a great chat about all the differences between America and Australia. Turns out, there's quite a few! This issue, we feature the lovely Kira Kosarin on our cover. With news that she's not making any more new episodes of The Thundermans, we thought we'd bring you the low down on what she plans to do next! You can check it out on page 18. We also uncover some backstage secrets…

PUDDLE RUNNER It was a rainy day and was running late. I was worried that I would miss the bus and have to walk to school, so I grabbed my bag and started running to the bus stop. I could see the bus approaching so I started running faster and I didn’t see the huge puddle in the middle of the footpath and ended up running straight into it. All the muddy water splashed up all over my uniform and face, it was disgusting and everyone on the bus saw it happen. I didn’t miss the bus but it was sooo embarrassing and I was so dirty! AIMEE, 12, TAS BAG SURPRISE I was running late for netball training and couldn’t find my sports bag so I grabbed my sister’s…

On set WITH THE THUNDERMANS We were so sad and shocked to learn that Kira has filmed her last new episode of The Thundermans! The star took to social media to share the news. “Thank you for joining us on this incredible journey over the past five years,” she said. “Playing Phoebe has been the greatest gift a girl could ask for.” Kira is especially grateful for her time on the show, as she got to meet Jack Griffo, who plays her on-screen brother, Max, and the pair have become the best of friends. While filming the final episode, the pair made a secret pact for their final scene together, but it didn’t go exactly to plan. Kira says, “Fun fact: ‘Congratulations Max, congratulations Phoebe’ were the last words we…

ALL ABOUT THE... Shetland Pony • The Shetland is the smallest breed of ponies, but they're very strong - they can pull twice their own weight! • They originate from the Shetland Islands in Scotland where it's cold, which is why they're lucky to have such thick and shaggy coats! • They're very kind and easy to train which is probably why they are one of the most popular horses in the world. • It's best not to spoil a Shetland pony too much because they can become rebellious and mischievous. • They can live for up to 25 to 35 years. HELP! MY DOG ONLY EATS MEAT! It certainly is best for your loved pooch to eat more than just meat, as meat lacks essential nutrients. What your dog…

LUCY’S PARTY SCENE CONFESSIONS Being a mega-star actress comes with all kinds of amazing perks - like scoring invites to the latest parties and movie premieres. But, Lucy Hale spills on why you won’t see her at too many red carpet events, or parties. “I think there is this [idea] that all these parties are so glamorous and fun, but it’s my nightmare,” she reveals, “I run a little socially anxious anyways, but it’s just not what you imagine it to be.” Instead, Lucy says she would rather spend time with friends behind the scenes, who she describes as people who are“real and like me for who I am.” A very smart idea, indeed!

SHAWN’S ROYAL ENCOUNTER Recently, at the Queen’s 92nd Royal Birthday Bash, Shawn Mendes performed - and he got to meet the Queen! But... it was kinda awkward for him. “You’re not allowed to speak to her unless she speaks to you first,” he says, so she stood next to him backstage for a good 10 minutes in silence, while he was just staring at Her Royal Highness.

1 The oldest dinosaur tracks humans can locate are around 245 million years old, according to experts. 2 Baby dinosaurs were easy targets for snakes, small crocodiles and other mammals. If their nest wasn’t guarded, they risked being eaten and killed by other animals. It’s estimated that 89.9 percent of hatchlings died in the first year. So sad! 3 We all know that dinosaurs laid eggs, but did you know that one special species of dino gave birth to live babies? The Mosasaurs lived in water for its entire life, and gave birth to its babies, rather than laying eggs – kind of like a whale. 4 The largest dino tracks found measured 103 centimetres from top to bottom and were made by a dinosaur identified as the Long-Neck Sauropod.…

Turns out, when your mum nags you to take a jacket - she actually has a really valid point! Layering up clothes can be a great option when you are going out into the cold. Try a singlet under your shirt for extra warmth, and don’t forget your accessories! A beanie to keep your ears warm and a scarf to protect the neck will keep you toasty... and hopefully away from any cold winds! Is this the coolest nail…
