It is 1956 and Melbourne is hosting the Olympic Games. Jack Spiller and his mates are caught up in the excitement, running their own torch relay around the block each night while the Olympic Torch travels from Darwin to Melbourne. When Jack discovers an unfinished sailboat in the shed of recluse Mad Mick Metcalf, Jack convinces Mick to let him and his mates finish building it.

Ian Trevaskis, a former primary school teacher, lives in the tiny township of Tallangatta in north-east Victoria. Ian is an award-winning childrens author and has had a number of picture story books and YA novels published nationally and internationally.
