Rob has always wondered at the mystery and power of the giant stone statues on far-away Easter Island. They look like they know things that we don't - though we are slowly discovering more about their secrets, and about the people who made them. It's a fascinating story, and it's still unfolding. There are still secrets to discover, and much that is yet to be told.
About the Author
Rob is a dad and he write books - and he also sometimes drives a library bus. The bus is full of books, so on his journeys around the countryside with his pop-up library he's surrounded by stories, adventures and possibilities. It's useful to have all this inspiration and fun around him, though the only problem is that when he stops, people come on board and take his books away! Of course, Rob doesn't really mind. He likes to imagine the secret worlds they're going to find, and the ideas and people and places they're going to discover. It's why Rob think books are so wonderful. Open one up and you never quite know where it will take you. Happy reading.
