Jon Tucker is a kiwi ex-teacher turned adventurer-writer, whose piratical black ketch is the only home he and his wife Barbara owned for most of their lives. They and their five sons extensively sailed the waters of New Zealand, Australia and the Pacific. Their accumulated experiences have provided Jon with sufficient material, both true and imaginative, to write and illustrate the 'Those Kids' series of environmentally themed linked children's adventure books.
`This first book in a trans-Tasman quartet... reflects the sensitivity to environmental issues you'd expect from a writer who recently sailed with his sons to the windiest place on earth.' Ann Packer, The Listener (NZ) Jan 2013 ; `Jon Tucker has written the book which I had always wanted to write but never did. He has done a spanking good job of it too!' David Bamford, Arthur Ransome Soc, F.S., Feb 2013; It is incredibly important to recognise that sometimes kids just want to immerse themselves in a good old-fashioned adventure story. Jon Tucker delivers one with his second book ...inspired by true events and places as well as his own life in which he and his wife raised five sons aboard their ketch.... An engrossing romp of a read which you don't have to be young to enjoy.' Dani Colvin, Sunday Tasmanian
