Kim Wheeler was born at University College Hospital, London in 1954 and was promptly abandoned by his birth mother. He was then taken into care by the local authority and moved south of the river to a children’s home in Lewisham where he spent the next five years. He was eventually fostered and adopted aged six and moved to Pinner, and at the age of eleven was sent away to attend a boarding school leaving aged fifteen, with few qualifications.
Over the next thirty years he suffered from several physical injuries, survived meningitis and, finally disabled with an incurable spine injury, was ordered to cease all types of manual work. Mental health issues and complete breakdown soon ensued. You can read all about this in his book, ‘Climb Mountains in the Dark’ which was free to download from his web page, www.kimwheeler.co.uk along with, ‘Rescue Dogs Rescue Man’ - the proceeds from just Rescue Dogs Rescue Man have been donated to charity.
Kim is also a self taught photographer, a writer of over one hundred published poems and prose, a dog trainer and dog rescuer. He has also learnt to play the guitar, but sadly the sound he makes resembles a horse eating shreddies.
Despite being battle scarred he refuses steadfastly to be beaten by any of the many trials and continues to face daily battles with all the physical pains without complaint.

Jonny Plumb's New Adventures by Kim Wheeler is an adventure story starring Jonny Plumb. The story takes off from Jonny's previous adventures with the Silver Flying Arrow Space Ship. Jonny's sea life friends, his space home Pashoo, his struggle to save Earth, humanity and the oceans is the story line of this new adventure.
The book is like any other adventure series with a lot of imagination, action, and fantasy put into it. It is combination of fantasy/science fiction, which many kids will love. The Silver Flying Arrow Space Ship, Professor Ziad, Cosmos the surviving alien, and Jonny's two loyal companions, Legend and Legion, all add to the dream-like quality of the story.
I liked this book because of the educational theme, too. Jonny's philanthropic mission speaks about the human angle. It's important to have children's story books with a strong theme. Also, children are highly imaginative and they always think outside the box. These types of stories also aid in developing their imagination and thought.
The language is rich. There are many novel things one can learn. The dreamer inside you will awaken once you finish reading this book. Adventure series still continue to hold a child's interest and Jonny's exploits are just that.
