Jack Jones is a series of classic adventure stories set in a contemporary time.

The central characters include Jack (you can read more about our main character below), his younger sister Emma who is an excitable, strong and savvy young girl who loves nature, gymnastics and anything adventurous, and, Albert, Jack’s best friend and next-door-neighbor who is very studious, cautious, cool and calm under pressure, thoughtful and reliable. This book is ideal for children new to chapter books (ages 6-8) as well as those who are at an intermediate level of reading chapter books independently (ages 9-12).

About Jack Jones: Jack Jones is an adventurous pre-teen who believes there is always a practical explanation for even the most mysterious and seemingly inexplicable things. His parents are professors who teach the importance of education and the power of problem-solving. Jack is a born leader who loves music, loathes snakes, welcomes input and is very supportive. He’s encouraging and always maintains a positive attitude no matter the predicament. He plays guitar in a band called The Missing Links and he never ventures anywhere without his lucky jacket!

Autor

Zander Bingham was born and raised on a boat. It was captured by pirates when he was just 12-years-old. He, along with his family and crew, swam to a nearby island where Zander spent his days imagining swashbuckling adventures on the high seas. Well, not exactly. But Zander did love boating adventures as a kid. And he always dreamed of exploring deserted islands and being a real-life castaway. He grew up cruising around Australia, the USA and The Bahamas. He eventually captained his very own sail boat, living aboard and exploring the Adriatic Sea with his wife and two young sons. His thirst for exploration, his witty sense of humour, and his new-found passion for writing stories to read to his boys at bedtime, led to the creation of Jack Jones; the confident, brave and curious boy adventurer who is always searching for his next escapade.
