Reviews

I loved the Jack Stalwart series right from the first book - can these keep coming, please? I love it! It's like Anthony Horowitz for the younger reader

—— The Bookseller

This series is the 'must read' of the summer. The books' travel-based themes also make them ideal for holiday reading

—— Jacob Hope , Achuka

The Jack Stalwart books have been a great weapon in the booksellers' 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

—— 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
