Produktbeschreibung
After escaping the freezing cold, blizzards and surprising events in Iceland, the friends return home safely, minus one obnoxious, annoying member of their group: Fredrick. Enjoying their relaxed life in Australia, the friends retire from future engagements with Francis until another letter arrives inviting Francis to India. The friends secretly accompany Francis for support, adding more fun and frolic as they travel through the air. Upon landing, Francis is driven to the famous Mumbai Racecourse, but his friends take it upon themselves to sightsee after meeting an old friend, putting Francis and Tom in deep trouble again. The excitement through India makes for an unbelievable experience when becoming involved with a Bollywood film and a questionable figure. They embark on journeys to the jungle where they encounter wild ferocious beasts that find them appetising. Crossing waters with elephants, borrowing cars to escape, dressing up to disguise themselves through markets and villages to visit the Taj Mahal, and experiencing an unforgettable time as they visit the River Ganges, where some of the friends are captured for sacrifice; only managing to escape to be confronted by police as they are chased on their way to the airport. Do they make it home to Australia or are they stuck in India?
Autorenporträt
Born August 10th 1949, Sonia McNulty was fortunate to have opportunities bestowed upon her by her parents. As a child, attending ballet school allowed her to become a professional dancer; attending drama school helped her gain parts in amateur and professional theatre; television and film was always a burning desire; attending singing classes gave her the qualities necessary to perform in operas.At the same time she followed a career in which her father saw potential as he was a brilliant architect and engineer in his time and so encouraged her in that field. Years later she became an architectural and interior designer.This continued from Singapore to the UK, New Zealand and Australia. But there was still another yearning and that was to write children's books. Being creative in her past fields gave her the ability to write as ideas poured out and characters came to life. Sometimes you do not gain world success in all the things that you want but somehow writing these stories has introduced her past life experiences on paper with the ultimate goal of seeing one of her books turned into a film.Sonia has written five children's books so far with Francis the Horse That Is, Francis Goes to Europe, Francis Goes to South America and Francis Goes to Iceland now published. Sonia's aim is to bring something unique, healthy, humorous and innocent with educational values for today's and tomorrow's children.Through her work she maintains a constant love of all animals which builds a strong bond for children to relate to in some way. Children and animals share a joy of innocence which goes hand in hand, demonstrating love in a pure and natural manner. She hopes her books will allow each child to use their imagination and travel side by side with their favourite friend as they witness their mischievous ways.
