Joel To The Rescue !: an adventure book for children

A message for parents and teachers : firstly, parents !! This is a unique literary experience which I've prepared for families, schoolchildren and teachers alike. Why unique ? Well, each of the 12 chapters have been carefully written in a certain style, a certain 'genre' which will be useful in its own right, as a separate entity distinct from the rest of the book. At the same time, the book can be read as a flowing, 12 chapter story complete with a beginning, middle and end. Hopefully there will be enough character - development, sub - plots and settings to keep the average primary / elementary school reader happy. Why not read with your child and put on lots of 'silly voices' - it might just excite them !There's certainly enough super - hero type action in there to keep those 'reluctant - to - read' boys interested ! Now teachers !! Have you ever hunted around for examples of, say, alliteration or varied sentence starters, and the next thing realise you've wasted an hour scouring endless websites ? Well look no further. This book fulfils two criteria. Firstly, it is a story made up of 12 distinctive chapters, each one packed with a certain written style / genre. Each chapter can be used in isolation to provide examples of, for instance, scene - setting, or utilised as a 12 part flowing narrative which can be enjoyed by independent, confident 8, 9 and 10 year old readers (U.K. Years 4 and 5) or by 11 year old pupils (U.K. Year 6) who require consolidation work prior to SAT tests. Secondly, at the back of the book is a comprehension section containing 10 questions per chapter.
