Читать книгу Bonez - Susan Berran - Страница 2

My mother brought SPLINTERZ and TOE JAMMD, for my children. My son in particular was not in the slightest bit interested in reading and even doing the reader books given to us by the school was a difficult and unrewarding task. My 7yo son decided to pick up SPLINTERZ. I heard chuckling from the bedroom and my son wandered out book in hand saying “Mum, listen to this” and reading me an excerpt he found particularly funny. In one hour my son had read 34 pages of SPLINTERZ with more fluency, meaning and interest than he has shown in any school reader.

In one hour Susan Berran has changed my son’s whole outlook on reading - he loves it now! I can’t thank her enough for writing witty and engaging stories that all children would enjoy reading.

I’m sure a lot of my son’s enthusiasm comes from all the ‘risque’ words like poop and bull crap! He kept on chuckling and telling us how funny it was when Sam suggested they throw a battery in after the bulb and when it caught up,the bulb would glow and they could watch where it went.

He loves the fact that there is more than one story going on in the book, something that seems to be lacking in many school readers.

I adore reading, and was resigning myself to the fact that my son would never get the same joy from reading I do, until we found SPLINTERZ. Thank you very much.

I’ve gone blank and can’t think of all the things I wanted to say in praise of these books and their author, so I guess this will have to do! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. Charlie now comes home and says “I’m going to read” he no longer wants to play the Xbox or computer games or Wii he just wants to read SPLINTERZ

He’ll be finished the book by the end of this week so Susan better write like crazy so she can publish more books for my son to read.
