What is The Jack's Mega Machines series by Alison Ritchie about?

Written and published between 2012 and 2014, Jack’s Mega Machines follows an inventive mechanic whose magical workshop opens into extraordinary worlds. Each picture-book adventure begins with Jack repairing a different vehicle, then progresses into an imaginative mission: racing aliens, escaping dinosaurs, exploring underwater games, tackling monster-filled caves and joining pirate treasure hunts. Fast-paced and brightly illustrated, the series should appeal to children aged around 3–7 who enjoy vehicles, action and make-believe. Mild peril, frightening creatures and chase scenes may require reassurance for sensitive readers.
