Jonny B arrives unexpectedly to coach a group of dejected trainee surf-lifesavers - and turns everything around: he shows his protégées how to deal with bullies, cheats, thieves, grumpy old men, parents, self-doubt - and even heroes! - as he guides them on their ride through the rite of passage that is "getting your bronze"...
The Second Edition of this classic for young teens has been extensively revised, rewritten, and in several places expanded to include new characters and adventures, maps, a glossary, and perhaps even a little extra fun! It tackles the themes of early-teenhood in a fun and encouraging way, and almost every chapter ends with an uplifting homily or anecdote that punctuates the piece.
Not a Superhero, just super... ...and a hero (sort of)!..... Say G'day to Jonny Byron, the most likeable legend from the land of sun and surf since... forever! Is Jonny magic, or just super-lucky? Can he really conjure up perfect surf out of nowhere? Talk to dolphins? Ride two surfboards at once? Does he really break all the rules? Or is he just righting wrongs? Is he a Scallywag, or a Saint? Join surf-buddies Keira and Beau as they ride the wave of fun and adventure with their new surf-coach, Jonny B. Dive right in as Jonny deftly turns the tables on cheats, bullies, thieves, grouches, and even self-doubt! You might not learn to surf, but you might well learn a few new tricks - or even a new song! Read on: You're in for the ride of your life!This book is designed to be both entertaining and educational. The characters, lifestyles, and language depicted are authentic - albeit fictional - but many of the locations are absolutely real, and there is a map at the front of the book to help you navigate the storyline.
Words that may be unfamiliar to young readers, non-surfers, or to those from outside Australia, have been printed in bold when they first appear, with explanations supplied in an alphabetically arranged glossary at the end of the book.
Though primarily of interest to pre-teen and young teenage surf-lifesavers, we are confident that those who have never seen the sea - and adults too - will enjoy these stories, and of course we encourage the experience of "reading together" as you "dive right in" and see if you can "fathom" the enigma that is Jonny B.
