No one could tell a tale like Papa, not even Pinocchio…

He told Daniel of his fights with lions, tigers and even a great white shark; he had even captured the Loch Ness Monster before letting it go again…

Papa claimed to have climbed Mount Everest barefoot and had slurped tea with the queen of England. He had done it all, an undercover agent for the FBI, a champion rodeo rider and he had even swum across the Atlantic Ocean in just one day…

Daniel had heard most of Papa’s claims before, but now he was ready to be part of the next weird adventure…

The feisty twelve-year-old was born with the gift of intrigue, willing and keen to search out trouble wherever and whenever he could, and once the trouble had been discovered, he would always blame Papa...

This first chronicle of adventures of Daniel and Papa includes four very different adventures of suspense and mystery; but no matter where they go, trouble is never far away…

Fasten your seat belt and join Daniel and his best friend, Papa, on their ‘Strange Trips and Weird Adventures’.

John Walker Pattison was born in the wonderful seaside town of South Shields 64 years ago.


He is a long-suffering but dedicated Newcastle United supporter; however, there is little doubt that the crucial hinge in John’s life is his beautiful wife, June, and his family. “Nothing is more important than family,” says John.


He recently retired from his post as a senior clinical nurse specialist in haematology at his local hospital, a place that established his cancer diagnosis in 1975; he is humbled to be one of the longest living cancer survivors in the UK at 46 years post diagnosis.


His interests include Native American photography and exploring parts of America unseen by tourists.

  • Karen MacRae

    Bought the book for my Niece to help her reading and knowing the author I thought it would be good. I have read it and think its a great innocent read where nowadays they don't read about stories and explore their imagination.
    It was like taking myself back to the innocent days of our youth when we had no blocks to our imagination. She loves the book and has told her friends about it. SHE really enjoys it and we've had some great evenings talking shout the book and the adventures.
