Derek Dool Supercool: Run for Your Life by Adrian Beck, illustrated by Scott Edgar (Puffin) PB RRP $14.99 ISBN 978 1760892975
Here is yet
another book in the Derek Dool series which is targeted at readers aged 9+
years. It is a humorous series in the vein of Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Timmy
Failure being highly illustrated in a fun and energetic style.
Derek is far
from being a natural athlete but he’s willing to have a go. The school’s cross-country
is coming up and Derek aims to win it. However, all his plans fall apart when
the race begins, especially as there are rumours of a witch lurking in the
bush. Are the rumours true?
Featuring
breakout chapters and jokes, this series is perfect for both confident and reluctant
readers. Underneath the bravado, the antics and the sometimes laugh-out-loud
humour, themes of hobbies, friendship, family, self-confidence, resilience, and
staying true to yourself resound.
