60 Days for schools A sailing adventure in three books, for readers 10 and up
For English teachers and teacher-librarians: three children, a catamaran they built themselves, and the whole New South Wales coast between them and safety.
An adventure sailing story about children maintaining their values against all odds. They are chased at sea, captured and escape; boats are damaged and sunk; but they survive to forgive.
Why it suits a class
- Real seamanship — bar crossings, standing waves, reefing and navigation, drawn from the author’s own ocean racing.
- The real NSW coast — real headlands, beaches and river mouths, places you can go and see.
- Three books, one voyage — read them in order.
- Written and illustrated by the author.
The books will appeal to readers who loved Swallows and Amazons and Tomorrow When the War Began. See books like 60 Days.
