About the author

After three years, it is finally time to lift the lid on the secret identity of the Zac Power series’ best-selling author, H.I. Larry.

Zac Power’s world of adventure and espionage has been immensely successful, with around fifty exciting stories published and over a million copies sold in Australia alone. The ‘H.I. Larry’ pseudonym was used to keep the series consistent (and boringly, ensure that all Zac Power books are catalogued and shelved together!), and readers have long been intrigued by Larry’s secret identity.

The voracious reader demand for more Zac stories required a large writing team comprised of several brilliant Australian authors – many of whom have gone on to create their own fiction. Because of the success of the Zac Power series, and these authors’ rising profiles, Chris Morphew, Hilary Badger and Meredith Badger are now available to speak about their work on the Zac Power series.

A good, quick, simple read. Well written for a young audience, with appropriate wording to encourage learning whilst reading, without making it too much of a challenge that it becomes a bore.

I read this book to myself. I am nine years old.

Sometimes the criteria for choosing a book to read is that it needs to be short and read in a day... I raided my son's bookshelf for this gem (pun intended). It's been years since I read a Zac Power book!

Zac is a super-spy and is called up for a mission in the middle of his cross country race at school. He has 24 hours to save the world.

Complete with a dastardly villain, cool gadgets, robo-birds, and exotic animals, this is a fun adventure that kids will love.
