If you use 'AND' between two words, then both of those words will be present in the search results.
ex: Harry AND Potter will return results with both 'Harry' and 'Potter'.
If you use 'OR' between two words, then bth of those words may or may not be present in the search results.

Making tracks with reading! A series for emerging readers, written and illustrated by some of Australia's funniest popular creators.
Meet Mr Duckins.
Not only is he the funniest, silliest strangest, year 4 teacher in the universe, he's also the most EPIC. That's because Mr Duckins isn't like other teachers. He doesn't believe in tests. Or homework. Or opening doors before he runs through them. But when he hatches a plan to break the WORLD RECORD for eating THE MOST EGGS IN A DAY, Mr Duckins and his loyal class of misfits embark on a chicken-filled adventure that could turn rotten.
