Super Jack

'SuperJack is beautifully written with humour, love and a recognition of the uniqueness of kids.' - Life Education, Australia.Super Jack - book cover

The 'JACK' books have been translated into Korean and Bahasa (Indonesian).

I have a great family, but they drive me crazy sometimes.

There's Nanna, who is obsessed with buying bargains, especially underpants. How many pairs does a kid really need?

There's Mum, who does star jumps. I wish she wouldn't do them, especially in public.

There's my sort-of-step-dad Rob, who is the best dish washer in the whole world. He doesn't get it. I don't really care if plates sparkle.

There's my sister Samantha, who is in love with dogs, especially Floppy, who is big and flat and stuffed. Sometimes I think there's something wrong with my sister.

There's my best friend Anna, who is ... well, she's nice.

And ME. Jack. I'm twelve and a scientist. You should see my fantastic fungus.

We're going on a terrific holiday up north. Beaches and theme parks. Well, it's terrific apart from LEO, Rob's son. Yuck! Why does he have to come? I KNOW he's going to ruin everything.
