Jack's Island by Norman Jorgensen

Book Description

Secondhand. Near fine condition.

Jack's family is based on Rottnest Island during WWII, and his father helps build an airfield. Jack and his best friend Banjo have the run of the island and a remarkable knack for getting into trouble - but as Jack says, 'I'm not that bad; I just get caught a lot!'

Dafty, a simple but loveable young boy, dotes on Banjo and Jack. When Dafty seeks revenge against the local schoolmaster for a punishment inflicted on Banjo, life suddenly becomes more serious. (back cover)
