Description

Suitable for girls and boys aged 7 to 9 Children have to experience difficult situations in order to learn for themselves who they are. In the story, Billy is given an opportunity to act in the school play, but he tells himself he cannot do it. He convinces himself that he's not good enough, and that he'll never remember all the lines. He feels so unsure of himself and vulnerable, that he thinks of all the ways he can get out of playing a part. Instead opts to be a member of the stage crew, but he is very capable. By attending the rehearsals, unbeknownst to him, he learns the lines for all parts. When his best friend Ant, who is due to play the lead, has an accident, Billy finds that he has no option but to save the day and play the main part. By digging deep into his resources, and becoming his superhero, he realises that he is capable, and that he does have the ability.

Author Biography:

I am a dad of two grown children, and a stepfather to three more. I started writing five years ago with books designed to appeal to the inner child in adults - very English humour. My daughter Louise, reminded me of the bedtime stories I told her, and suggested I write them down for others to enjoy. I haven't yet, but instead I have written this eight-book series for 8 to 11-year-old boys and girls. Each one is a traditional story dealing with negative behaviours, but with positive outcomes. Although the main characters, Billy and his friends, are made up, Billy's dog, Jacko, is based on our much-loved family pet, which, with our second dog Malibu, caused havoc and mayhem to the delight of my children and consternation of me.Prior to writing, I was a college lecturer, and later worked in the computer industry, at a time before smartphones and tablets, when computers were powered by steam, and stood as high as a bus.
