Author & Illustrators
We highly recommend this fun and accessible story, which is perfect for fans on Tom Gates and Wimpy Kid. The doodle-diary style story charts the ups and downs of Stan’s life. Stan loves to use pie charts and Venn diagrams to show how he feels, which adds a super fun element to the book.
There are heaps of humorous moments to laugh at during Stan’s adventures, and also heartwarming parts where Stan and his brother learn to pool their resources and work as a team.
Children who love a visual element to their reading books will enjoy this easy to read story, which is perfect for independent reading in KS2.
Tiny lives in Glengadget and occupies her time helping assorted neighbours. But when disaster strikes and her life is turned upside down, all her good deeds pay off, as everyone rallies around to makes things better again. This adorable book has such a great message about the power of community and how good deeds have a habit of coming back to you. The brightly coloured illustrations create a genuinely immersive world that any child will enjoy exploring.
This story follows a young boy who sets about to find his father, an explorer who appears to have gone missing in the North Pole.
