Reviews

Couldn't recommend them highly enough

—— Test Match Special, BBC Radio 4

A funny account of cameraderie, courage and bottle tops!

—— The Sunday Times

The Jack Stalwart books have been a great weapon in the bookseller's armoury for hooking reluctant readers. Now re-launched, they are set to reach a much wider audience of young readers who want a piece of the secret-agent action

—— Sarah Moore , Publishing News

The very stuff of play

—— The Guardian

Thrilling not only to young readers fond of the sea, but also to older readers who remember how they enjoyed sea stories when they themselves were young

—— Scotsman

Enchanting and escapist

—— Sunday Express

There is plenty of excitement, a little danger, a quality of thinking, planning and fun which is delightful and stimulating

—— Times Literary Supplement
