Lyra is an active young lady who wants to get out and explore the world - but her father has turned into a Phone Zombie! He spends all his time lying on the couch working… talking… texting… reading… watching sports. Finally she persuades him to go for a walk with her in the bush where they see amazing creatures and Dad is gradually converted into a Nature Zombie! This wholesome tale, hinting at the dangers of the over-use of screens and extolling the benefits of getting out into nature, turns the usual parent-berating-child narrative on its head. The story thus delights children while at the same time tempting them to follow in Lyras footsteps. This is first in an anticipated series of books featuring Lyra and the Wilderness Warriors.

Craig Sheather is a freelance travel and creative writer from Albury in southern New South Wales. He specialises in lifestyle writing about the outdoors, food and wine, luxury, adventure and family travel. Craig is married with two cheeky young children so he has also developed a strong interest in children’s books. He has authored two childrens books, Sparky the Wonder Puppy and Heroes of Black Summer; and two walking guide books, ‘Best Walks of Victoria’s High Country’ and ‘Best Walks East of Melbourne’. 

* Introduces Lyra, a young nature warrior with a mission to explore with her Dad.
