Jack-in-the-box WITH Tall-tale Jack by Michael LawrenceWhen a baby is found in a cardboard box, he is named after the label on the box, so ends up being called This Way Up. He doesn't like it and sets about finding a new name. Can you guess what it turns out to be? Tall-Tale Jack is a rich man's servant, prone to laziness and inventing elaborate excuses for getting out of doing any work.

About The Author
Name: Michael Lawrence
Likes: The idea of doing nothing at all. If only I had time.
Dislikes: There isn't enough room on the page for me to write them all down!
3 Words that best describe me: Dashing, daring, strong (sadly, three lies).
A secret that not many people know: I am a young wizard in disguise.
Michael Lawrence is the talented and fascinating author of books for children and young adults. Born and raised in England, his young adult trilogy, Withern Rise, features his childhood home. He also has a series for younger children about the odd character of Jiggy McCue and his misadventures.
