This might be helpful for any teachers!

I hope that the combination of being a former teacher who has also rowed across the Atlantic will make the book useful and interesting for schools. โฃ

When I wrote it, I specifically intended that this should be useful as a class reading book, and so I included as much material from the curriculum as I could manage without detracting from the exciting adventure of the story (I hope). It has an average 5-star rating on Amazon, so I think I've managed that OK. โฃ
โฃ
I will also email you a free PDF of two other books teachers have found useful: 'The Boy Who Biked the World' and 'Great Adventurers'.โฃ

To help teachers using the book in class, I am also building up useful teaching resources on my website. โฃ
โฃ
I am giving away my book because I really believe that it will be a useful book for primary schools, and I am trying to get more schools to know about my books and to increase their reach.โฃ

You are under no obligation to do anything with the book I send you (although I insist that you at least play with the rowing 'flip book' effect on the corner of the pages before passing it on to another colleague).โฃโฃ
Thank you for your support!โฃ
