Mr Bale said he has been working on the novel during the coronavirus lockdown period after releasing his first book Follow the Leader in February this year.

"It took about a month and a half to finish the whole book," he said.

"As a primary school teacher by day, I would spend my time during the school holidays and after school writing ideas, editing and proof reading the novel at home.

"I'm planning on writing a sequel for the book and a few other stories as well."

Mr Bale also said this book is targeted at children aged 10 and above and older readers.

"I think this book will inspire some children kids to go outside and have some fun," he said

"While the older readers may feel nostalgia from their youth and playing in the country."
