Children's

Schoolyard pranks and bullying, heroes and villains - all wrapped up in an adventurous tale bound together by father and son. Ross Walker, a primary school teacher for more than 20 years, has written and illustrated this book about boys, bullying, friendship, family and resilience. Pitched at children in grades three to five, the story centres on young Theodore, an avid collector and recycler of junk who is at the mercy of schoolyard pranks perpetrated by Buckets, the school bully. Readers will meet Theo's friends, Evie and Ned, share Theo's adventures at the scary Green Point lighthouse, and find out how Theo becomes a hero.
