In a hilarious story, told throughout in Jack's own words, Jack, a Labrador dog, takes the family car for a drive, tries to protect a new pack-member (a parrot) from the claws of the family's cats - and gets involved with both burglars and New Age anti-road protestors. He also gets a whole steak to eat as a reward.
JACK is a yellow Labrador, living with PATRICIA FINNEY. PATRICIA FINNEY won the David Higham Award for her first novel when she was eighteen, and published a second novel a year later. She went to Oxford to read History, became a journalist, married and had children and at her first attempt won the Radio Times Radio Script Award. She is currently devising an original drama series for BBC TV. In addition to the JACK books for young readers, she is the author of a number of adult titles, primarily with historical themes: Firedrake's Eye, Unicorn's Blood and the 'Robert Carey' series. She lives in Cornwall.
