Description

Being Jack is the fourth and concluding book about Jack – an ordinary boy who does extraordinary things. Suitable for ages 9 and up.

Jack is in Year 6 now and still loves his photography, surfing, and crazy family. Things are going well for him, particularly at school where he isn't bullied any more. However, he notices that his best friend Christopher is being taunted, which leads to him missing school, hiding out, and avoiding everyone. When a football match turns ugly, and Jack and Christopher witness some unfair dirty play, they realise that, once again, the bullying has to stop.

Recommended for ages 9 and up.

Susanne's acclaimed books are widely endorsed by the Cancer Council NSW, Variety and The Children's Hospital Westmead. She is an ambassador for Room to Read, bringing education to the children of the developing world; a role model for Books in Homes, taking books to disadvantaged and indigenous children in Australia; and a literacy ambassador for many campaigns. Susanne is also Regional Advisor for the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI), promoting the community of writers and illustrators in Australia and internationally. She has been awarded the Lifetime Social Justice Literature Award by the International Literacy Association, an Order of Australia, and was nominated for the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award. www.sgervay.com Author photo by Jessica Higgins
