Ishmael and his intrepid band of misfits take on bullies, babes and The Beatles!
Michael Gerard Bauer was born in Brisbane and taught English and
Economics at secondary schools for a number of years but now he
devotes himself to full-time writing, school visits and Festival
appearances. His first novel THE RUNNING MAN won the 2005 CBCA Book
of the Year for Older Readers.
Michael lives with his family near the beautiful Brisbane suburb of
Ashgrove - the setting for THE RUNNING MAN. It is the suburb in
which he grew up, where he went to school, where he spent several
years teaching, where he met his wife and where, only a few streets
away from his present house, in what used to be a private hospital,
he was born. Sometimes Michael thinks he should get out more. Visit
him at www.michaelgerardbauer.com.
This is a really gripping story, first in a new series, with some
unusual but well rounded characters. It has a clever use of humour
to lighten some quite dark moments with plenty of surprises for
both the characters and readers.
