“Pip and Jack’s First Big Adventure” tells the story of Jack, the Jack Russell, and his owner, Pip, as they fly over Broughshane village, Slemish and see the brave lifeboat crew in Portrush. At its launch, Roy McKeown read the story, which is illustrated by local graphic illustrator Jennifer McNeill, to the Primary One pupils of Broughshane Primary school.

The book is published by Raceview Mill publications, one of 14 small businesses operating from Raceview Mill, which is quickly becoming a centre for creative fledgling businesses.
