What does it really mean to be courageous?

For young Max, there's no greater hero than Captain Courageous, the fearless television adventurer for whom nothing is too rough or too tough. Max can't wait to get home from school each day to watch his favourite show.

But there's one problem: Mrs Salamanda, his elderly neighbour, and her growly dog Graham. Mrs Salamanda always seems to need Max's help with something, and helping her is the last thing he wants to do.

As Max discovers, however, being a hero isn't always about daring adventures or extraordinary feats. Sometimes, real courage is found much closer to home.

Warm, funny and beautifully illustrated, Captain Courageous is a delightful story about kindness, friendship, responsibility and the unexpected rewards of helping others.

Perfect for children aged 5–10, and a lovely book for families to share.

A book with a special purpose

Written by the late Tracey Trinder and illustrated by her friend Mark Kilmurry, Captain Courageous also celebrates Tracey's memory. All proceeds are donated to the Northern Beaches Community Cancer Charity (NBCCC), supporting people affected by cancer in the local community.
