Penny, I really liked reading “Back to the Lighthouse” and particularly liked the illustration on the front cover. It would make a great comic / picture book for older children who are struggling to learn to read.

Hi Robyn, the illustration is by Brisbane artist Steven Bowerman. I bought the original from him years ago and had it framed – it’s just beautiful. And then I used it for the sequel.

Loved “Time Out” a story full of new and old knowledge, imaginative and exciting. Two boys caught up in a “Time Travel” adventure….. very interesting use of the development of technology and life in general from 1979 to 2009. A very entertaining and exciting read that will appeal to the “Time traveler” in all of us.
