Bang!

Description

Bang!

Sam Usher

(Templar Books)

Everything is going to plan. Egg, chips and peas for lunch, with eggs to collect from the chickens, peas picked fresh from the vines and potatoes to dig until… Bang! 

Could it be treasure? Or might it be something more, for example, a giant egg? Surely it’s not a dragon’s egg? One that has the boy and Grandad needing to dig beyond ‘the sprockets, a dusty lamp and a beanpole‘ to find a nest? In fact, could it be that they need to dig so deeply that they might employ the sprockets, lamp and beanpole to make their way along a deep, underground track toward a dragon’s nest?

As with any of the exceptional stories within the Adventures With Grandad series from Sam Usher, readers move from a morning of promise to a day of wonder and possibilities. Eggs, chips and peas to dragons’ eggs? An underground network that leads through bejewelled caves? Then again, a most extraordinary Bang! that has the pair ‘catapulted into the air then swooped to safety. Just in time!‘ Bookwagon loves this series so highly and recommends each book for reading aloud, lingering over, knowing well and loving.
