Description
Raymond is Alan's new step-dad. He doesn't know much about Alan, like what football team he supports. In fact, he doesn't know much at all. So he's in for a real surprise, because Alan has super-powers. But dare he share his secret?
From football to go karting, and real heroes and aliens, Books for Boys are packed with high action, adventure and humour, ideal for turning reluctant boy readers into lifelong bookworms. Ideal for fans of HARRY AND THE DINOSAURS who are ready to move on to chapter books.
Books with blatant boy appeal which offer first steps on the path to reading confidence.
