Overview

# 141 in the Bilingual Legends series: This book is in both English & the Pitkern/Norf'k creole.


James Porter was a convict who needed a way out of Tasmania. But he never stole a ship, did he?


This historical fiction is based upon the true story of James Porter and his companions, convicts who escaped from Tasmania to South America. Once caught, they devised an unexpected way of avoiding a hanging by exploiting a legal loophole that meant that they weren't technically pirates.


A mix of adventure and suspense with a little humour thrown in, this book is sure to engage reluctant young readers. Its strong focus upon the exploits of men finding their way out of trouble will be of particular interest to boys.

About the Author

As an Australian poet, it's hard to find work in the Outback. But there are children all over the world struggling to learn how to read. Some of them have hardly any books in their native language.That's why I created the Bilingual Legends series - to give as many children as possible the opportunity to read a story in their own native language. Usually, the language each book in the series is published in will be one that's spoken in the land where that story originates. A typical book also includes the text in English, but in some cases another language is employed instead.I hope you enjoy reading my books!
