Younger Reader Novels by James Moloney

Swashbuckler When Peter McNeill is about to be pulverized by the local bullies at his new school, he is saved by a strange figure in fancy dress who thinks he is the Scarlet Pimpernel. Meet Anton, one hundred percent fruit loop. He lives in a private world of knights in shining armour and gallant swordsmen. Peter becomes Anton’s friend and discovers his secret. This swashbuckler is a fraud. In the face of the real sadness in his family, Anton’s courage fails … until Peter comes up with a plan.

Buzzard Breath and Brains After "Swashbuckler", everyone wanted to know what happened to Rex and Tony, the two bullies. Well, here it is. Rex has a cousin named Natalie. If you thought Rex had an attitude problem, wait till you meet Nat, queen of the netball court and a terror to anyone who crosses her. Rex and Natalie end up on opposite teams for the "great netball massacre" - boys against girls. But who gets thrashed? And what does that clever little weasel, Tony, get up to in "Buzzard Breath and Brains"?
