As you browse our website you will be informed of the stock status of particular titles. If you are unsure what the status means, an explanation will pop up when your mouse cursor moves over it.

Please note:
Individual titles stock status is updated three times a week so reports are normally accurate.

From time to time however we can have multiple orders come in between website updates so status reports for a short period of time may be inaccurate, which means a title listed as "In Stock" may need to go to backorder.

James Roy was born in the colony of New South Wales and was transported to the South Pacific as a young child, where he was raised by a family of kind-hearted missionaries. He managed to keep insanity at bay by storing his memories in a notebook, until such time as he was able to find his way back to New South Wales with the aid of a one-armed-fishing boat captain. Then, plagued by health, he turned to writing books for solace. He soon became known as a writer of high esteem, his first great success coming with Captain Mack, which won Honour Book in the 2000 Children's Book Council Awards, and A Boat for Bridget, a Notable book in the same awards. He now lives in the Blue Mountains, and would be a recluse were if not for his wife, daughters, dog and sundry associates, whom he sees regularly. Ichabod Hart and the Lighthouse Mystery is his sixth book for young people
