Tommy is a real hero. He has survived being involved in mysterious missions but now he has to find a way to escape Filsland. With the help of a team of new friends, Tommy realises that it is time to get a new hero on board. What they create lands them a series of adventures that no one ever thought that they would embark on. This is the birth of a new hero, Captain Reece Icle.
This is a great book written for KS1 pupils. Pupils can explore the various characters and can develop their oral, descriptive skills.

Reading and writing is implemented as a vital tool for their learning. This book is a guide that aims to help learners understand that throughout their learning journey they will need to demonstrate their ability to decode meaning as intended by the author. Parents or learners can choose from a variety of text related tasks or follow each page in order to discuss the pictures and characters; read and answer comprehension questions or simply use their drawing skills to explore new characters.
