First sentence: “OK, you young Movitalls, you have completed your written exam paper.”
There was silence in lecture hall 101 as the Movitalls waited for their results to be read out by the Headless Master, which would be a feat of genius for most people without a head, but this was Poltergeist University, so it was nothing unusual.
Description: Simon Woodward’s first foray into children’s fiction is a charming tale about the trails and tribulations of a former feather, who through a series of chance events, a smidgen of alchemy and a dash of magic, became Brave Dave. We follow Dave on his adventures as he has an almost too close encounter with a mud bath, an eventful and humorous meeting with an insomniac tortoise and his talking shell -I kid you not- and a battle royal with some dastardly bad guys.
Sure to be enjoyed by children of all ages, Brave Dave also contains the kind of subtle humour that will keep adults entertained right to the end.
