Riassunto:

Who is Jack McCool? He's a regular wise-cracking schoolboy, expert multiple biscuit eater and dodger of homework who likes nothing better than chilling out on his bed with his dog, Fergus. It's no wonder Jack's room is his refuge, considering his crazy family and the daily onslaught he faces at school from his arch enemies: Miss Medusa, his lip-curling teacher, and Oscar the school bully. And oh yeah, Jack's just discovered he holds the key to breaking an ancient curse. Travelling back in time thanks to a dusty old trunk he finds in the attic, Jack joins forces with a warrior from the past, takes on a vengeful king and travels the world to solve the secrets of the magical Amulet of Athlone by retrieving its six enchanted gemstones from the clutches of some seriously devious and dangerous characters.

Informazioni sull?autore:

R. E. Devine writes fiction and non-fiction for adults and children alike. The author's father delighted in spinning bedtime stories featuring the legendary Irish folk hero Finn McCool; stories which both mesmerised and inspired the young reader but didn't do much in getting R.E. to sleep. From those childhood tales, grew this exciting adventure series about Jack McCool, a colourful and quirky modern-day Finn. This is R.E.'s first series of books for children after 25 years in journalism. The author lives in Sydney with three boys who each swear Jack McCool is based on them. But only R.E. and the family kelpie know the truth.
