If you have read the story of Francis the Horse That Is and Francis Goes to Europe, you will know that Francis has become the world's most famous horse with two legs; not only because of his disability and inspiration, but also because of the delightful, unbelievable, mischievous, unforgiving, humorous and outrageous behaviour from his loyal and trustworthy friends. In Francis Goes to South America the racing fraternity has invited Francis and his friends to visit South America: however the friends must not misbehave. Shortly after arriving in South America they become separated from Sasha, Mike and Ray, and again questions are raised about the odd assortment of friends causing mayhem and ending up in unpredictable places, such as: a huge field of cheering spectators, where Francis unknowingly arrives at a very important soccer match with famous players like David Peckham, Larry Kewell, Kim Cahill, and Lucas O' Beal. After making headlines again, they are chased into dangerous places where they are confronted with wild and mysterious animals, in the deepest and darkest jungles of the Amazon. Fredrick becomes a hero after escaping from a pool of piranhas and a cooking pot, after getting lost, thanks to two new South American friends that consequently change Fredrick's body image. Baaabra meets her idol Ricky Larkin when she enters a singing contest, and later becomes the first sheep to pilot a plane. Read on for more hilarious adventures...
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 and Francis Goes to South America now published. Several sequels are soon to follow. 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.
