Zac wipes out by H.I. Larry
Zac power. Spy camp Mission 6. Hardie Grant Egmont, 2010. ISBN
9781921690518.
(Age: Newly independent readers) Zac is sitting in the dentist chair
when he is suddenly whished off to Spy Camp to learn some more spying
skills. Here he pairs off with Cam, code name Agent Wave because he
loves surfing. They are taken by helicopter to a volcano, and here Zac
has to put all his training and skills to work to rescue Cam from the
lava flow.
Another in this great series for young readers, especially boys, Zac
wipes
out will especially appeal to children who enjoy surfing. They
will really appreciate how Zac uses a stretcher as a surfboard and
rides the lava wave.
Fifty-six pages of large print, interspersed with black and white
illustrations make it a good book for the emerging reader.
