Steve also took part in a brutal caving expedition opening up new passage in Mageni Cave in New Britain. The ultimate handbook for raising wilder, happier, muddier, more resilient kids - whatever the weather and wherever you live.

Books — STEVE BACKSHALL

After graduating from university, Steve began writing for the Rough Guides travel series, which then led to television work. Soon he was carrying business cards from National Geographic which described him as their ‘Adventurer in Residence’. And then he found himself in the vast untamed wilderness of Papua New Guinea, experiencing the crushing lows and extraordinary highs of the BBC’s Lost Land of the Volcano expedition.

The Clan are a group of boys, trained from birth to be thieves, fighters, and assassins. Saker once was one of them, until he met Sinter, and realised that the Clan was working for evil, rather than good.Sacred Heart School students celebrate World Book Day 2019.
