Reader Reviews

SWIFT 2

I’ve just ordered SWIFT 2 for my lad for Christmas. He loved the first one and I’m sure he’ll find this one just as enjoyable. We’ll be keeping an eye out for future books too!

Quincy the Miserable Dragon

My little grandson loved listening to this book. As will all Glenn Beavers’ books it was very easy to read and listen to and the main character, Quincy, is fun, but just lost his way a little. It shows children things are not always as they seem and to liste, as you may learn something you didn’t know. A lovely book.

SWIFT 2

A wonderful follow-up book. SWIFT 2 is exciting and keeps you on your hoof to find out how the story will end. Very funny and has so many different characters in to keep children amused all the way through. A great story.

Rasta Christmas and the Santa Corps:

The Summer Connection

The first tale in the new Santa Corps series

Best friends Alesha and Jaden know they’ve got a chance of winning the school essay competition. They only need to find out a bit more about the legendary Nightsurfer. Does he genuinely ride the waves at night and dance across the roofs?

They investigate by climbing their Caribbean island volcano – and get lost. Rasta Christmas, a member of the Santa Corps, finds them and takes them on a magical adventure. They discover the actual use of the Bermuda Triangle, and meet a talking parrot, walking fire hydrants and a friendly alien.

When a hurricane arrives, battering the island, Alesha’s fisherman father and his crew are out at sea in mortal danger. Who will save them from the raging storm?

Beautifully illustrated by Kris Lillyman, this is a charming tale for all seasons, all ages and all imaginations.
