My NZ Story: Cup Magic
by Susan Battye
ISBN 9781775430285
Mike Lucas wants to know why he’s being sent to live with his grandparents. There’s some big secret that no one’s telling him. At least Poppa is teaching him and his mate Hone to sail. But then Mike learns the reason for the secrecy: his parents are working with the Team New Zealand boat builders for the 1995 America’s Cup challenge. And then he finds out that the whole family is going to San Diego! Everyone is wearing their lucky red socks and excitement is feverish … can Black Magic bring home the Cup?
Mike’s fictional diary, providing background information on Team NZ’s 1995 challenge, will appeal to boys and girls as we gear up for this year’s America’s Cup regatta.
(For ages 10+ years)
