SUMMARY:

The BookViral Review:
Zany, magical and totally original, Jonny Plumb and The Golden Globe conjures up the spirit of age old classics into the most beguiling of children’s tales. A full on childhood adventure from the very first page, author Kim Wheeler reminds us of the pure joy to be found when imagination is given free reign. With an engaging narrative, the suspension of disbelief may well be a requisite, but his young protagonist Jonny Plumb always feels real as he attempts to unravel the magical mystery in which he finds himself. A wonderfully drawn little character who Wheeler ably captures in cleverly nuanced dialogue and sublime turn of phrase. A read that combines vibrant illustrations with Wheeler’s whimsical rhymes, it’s one of those tales that will linger in the enquiring minds of young readers as they quickly take the ever endearing Jonny to their hearts.
The start of a magical series that deserves wide readership, Kim Wheeler has set his bar enviably high with the promise of good things to come. With an unreserved high recommendation, Jonny Plumb & The Golden Globe is certainly deserving of a place on your child’s bookshelf.

Enid Blyton meets Gerald Durrell in a joyous celebration of Zimbabwe in ‘Four Zimbabwean Adventure Tales’, penned by Robin Anderson.

You know the ones! The edge of your seat, knuckle gnawing, nail biting books. So, what makes for a good plot. Is there a magic recipe? Or is it just potluck?
