Will Jones Space Adventures And The Zadrilian Queen

This is an exciting novel that can be used by children in so many different ways. Primarily, the book can be read as a fun, exciting book that allows children to think the right way: How much money do they have? How do they spend and save money? When do they use a helmet when cycling and what are the consequences of not using one? Maintaining and looking after things - Will's bike is fixed by a member of the Grigan race from the Planet of Grigan. Family values, rules and ethics. Will learnt such great lessons on the Planet of Zadril; I loved page 161. Lovely ending; makes you want to read the next book.- Liz Pennell, Teacher and Mother

Christine Thompson-Wells has been a teacher and educator for over thirty years. She says, 'many children find concepts difficulty to learn. However, as an educator, I know that children can learn difficult tasks through play and interaction with siblings and in peer-group situations, this why, when I write a children's book, I look at other ways to bring the story into a child's life. The story of Will Jones meeting the Zadrilian Queen takes the child into the unknown realms of space and beyond and yet, the child continues to learn the complicated system of working with money.'
