“Rickety Rocket: fun fiction sure to help kids blast off a lifetime of reading for pleasure”

We are excited to announce that we will be publishing our first junior fiction books this October! We will be publishing 3 titles, perfect for 6-9 year olds who are just embarking on their first solo reading adventures, including Rickety Rocket by Alice Hemming and Emma Randall. And what’s better than an adventure in Space? Rebecca, who writes for Booksagoago, let us know what she thought of this collection of intergalactic adventures.

“Rickety Rocket: fun fiction sure to help kids blast off a lifetime of reading for pleasure […] . I really liked the format of three stories in one as it gives children bite sized adventures and a triple feeling of accomplishment in one book.

With nicely blocked text perfect for supporting rookie readers, Rickety Rocket introduces kids to lots of exciting new words that Biff, Chip et al (other reading schemes are available) won’t have covered. For me, ‘jellicious’ is now a new favourite that I have happily added to my own vocabulary!”
