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.

This book is really special in my heart because it was the first book I could actually understand end-to-end when I was a child. It is very thin and easy to read, the lines have a generous gap between one another and the vocabulary is challenging in the right amount for a child. I really recommend this book for any early reader that still has difficulty reading large and complex books but still wants a thrilling story to have some fun!

This (and other books in the Zac Power series) is a great introduction to chapter books for early readers. The language is basic enough to make the book enjoyable, whilst also including some words that will pose enough of a challenge to improve reading and comprehension skills without losing interest in the story.

Easy chapter, kid spy. Lots of action and fun gadgets to keep kids entertained. Zac does it all himself without too much reliance on adults. Some of the plot didn't make sense, or Zac got extremely lucky for it to all work out. I would recommend.

Another story with many errors and plot holes.

I liked it, but my eight year old, who I am reading the series to, really enjoys these books. They are short, he could read them himself, and full of action. Zac is a 12-year-old spy who has cool gadgets including, in this one, a dynamite pen.
