Jack Thomas (Staff 1954) - Writes to tell me about his latest venture.
I have just published a book which I hope might interest you and which you might feel inclined to buy. It is called Nantucket Shenanigans. 14 chapters and 204 pages long, it tells the story of two teenagers who have never been abroad before but have the holiday of a lifetime on the magic island of Nantucket, off the coast of Massachusetts.
Their American aunt Pamela watches in horror as Tom and Annie get into all sorts of scrapes. Their adventures include a clash with the police, getting themselves shipwrecked, learning about the mysteries of baseball, becoming stranded all night on a remote part of the island and discovering the beauty of the island and its history as well as just having fun with their aunt and her dog, Boone.
But in the last two chapters everything that that has gone before pales into insignificance as Tom and Annie face bravely up to a terrifying ordeal.
But this novel is not just a teenage romantic adventure story, although I feel confident that teenagers would enjoy it. Adults would assuredly find this book fascinating as it explores the cultural, linguistic and historical differences between the U.S.A. and the U.K. You would also get a guided tour of the beauty, history and glory of Nantucket Island.
To buy my book all you have to do is go onto the internet, type lulu.com; when it comes up, go to Books, type in the word Nantucket. Choose the copy with a picture of a girl on the beach and press Buy!
The book costs £10 plus £2.99 postage making a grand total for a jolly good read of £12.99.
Jack also says that you can review the book having read it on the same website.
