Diary of a Taekwondo Master


Diary of a Taekwondo Master
By Shamini Flint , illustrator Sally Heinrich
Allen and Unwin

Oh, dear! Poor Marcus. His Dad wants him to try new sports and excel at them, but Marcus just isn’t the sporty type.  But he’ll try. By golly gosh he will try – even when he doesn’t feel like it – and he knows he won’t do super well. So far he’s tried to be a soccer star and a cricket god, but has failed. And in his latest effort, Marcus is reluctantly willing to take up Taekwondo. He’s not willing to be like Jackie Chan or Kung Fu Panda, and his dad is worried about him not wanting to fight. What happen is he actually gets hurt???? In the meantime he’ll keep a hilarious illustrated diary of his failures for us to read and enjoy. Writer Shamini Flint and illustrator Sally Heinrich have teamed up again to bring us another fun tale, in the vein of Diary of a Wimpy Kid, but for children a little younger.
