How far can a child’s imagination take him or her?
In the new children’s adventure story The Magic Trampoline, four fun loving, adventure seeking little boys-Haz, Chaz, Baz and Maz (the Author's real life four children) venture out of this world to some far away places. All it takes is a very high jump on a special trampoline.
During their very first adventure, after they realise the magical power of their very own trampoline, the boys (along with their Dad) travel into space, land on Planet Tiny and meet the cutest and friendliest little space aliens ever - Misty, Merlee, Fizz and Krick. After an exciting game of space soccer, Misty hitches a ride with the boys in Dad’s back pack, creating panic and chaos for the family. But, they must keep Misty hidden from their Mum, or she’ll find the little alien and freak out!
First in a series of children’s adventure stories, The Magic Trampoline is a wondrously illustrated picture book which takes young readers to far off and exciting places with the four little travelers, while teaching some valuable lessons along the way
Kieren J. Fitz-Gibbon, author of The Magic Trampoline, created this magical story out of his love of telling bedtime stories to his children. The Magic Trampoline and the series’ forthcoming books, are sure to delight young readers (and maybe some grown-ups too).
Kieren is a graduate of University of Newcastle in New South Wales, where he earned his bachelor's degree in civil engineering. Kieren works as a Project Manager for Local Government in regional New South Wales, Australia.
Kieren lives in Newcastle, New South Wales, with his wife and their four sons, who serve as the very inspiration for the adventures they all share together in the Magic Trampoline series, and whom he adores spending time with in their front yard, playing soccer, traveling to distant worlds and meeting new people, no matter who or what they may be!
