Claire Cashmore, MBE and Paralympic gold medallist, was born without a
left forearm – but she never let being different stand in the way of
her big dreams. Splash is based on Claire’s real-life experience: this
gold-medal-winning swimmer really was scared of water … until one day,
everything changed!
These are Claire’s big sisters.
They call her Bear and ruffle her hair.
And whatever Claire’s sisters can do,
Claire can do too …
But there is one thing Claire won't do …The water in the swimming pool
makes her feel squirmy inside. Follow her sisters? No thank you! Not
today?
Can Claire conquer her fears? Can she set foot in the water – and what
will happen if she does?
Splash features a brilliantly bold heroine, who happens to be
differently abled, and brims with fun, positivity and Claire Cashmore’s
inspirational growth mindset message.
IT'S A ROCKY ROAD! Game Changer is the eighth book in the
football-tastic Roy of the Rovers illustrated fiction series, and
the second Rocky of the Rovers story. Part of the third season,
this exciting series is written by award-winning author Tom Palmer.
The newly formed Melchester Women's team are going from strength to
strength in their first full season of professional football, lead
by the tenacious Rocky Race. But behind the scenes, the morale of
the club is low. After a shocking incident in a men's European
game, and the recent Race family tragedy, Rocky, her brother Roy,
and the whole club is struggling to deal with the aftermath. What's
more, she's fighting with Ffion her friend! Can she maintain her
match-winning performances? How is she supposed to deal with
everything that's happened? And just where does her footballing
future lie? Enjoyed this title? Pick up The GBP100 Million Game
next to continue the story! Praise for the Roy of the Rovers
series: EPIC! - Match of the Day Magazine I love the way that they
are about so much more than football: they are about heart, values
and family. Both graphic novel and fiction titles are compelling,
engaging and a lot of fun. Lace up and get reading. - Jim Sells,
Programme manager for Sport & Literacy, National Literacy
Trust. Read with my 7 year old who is football mad, really enjoyed
it and left us wanting to read the next one in the series! -
