Reviews
You have successfully created a strong first novel in an action packed adventure series. Your plot is strong and moves along at a good pace. Humour & lots of food references make the story child centred. It has commercial potential.' -- Leonie Tyle: Agent & Publisher; Jo-Kin (aka Josh Atkins) is a funny but flawed, easy to like hero-in-the-making. As a lonely star-gazing super-geek, he's the boy least likely to save the universe. All he needs is a teammate and an opportunity. Full of action, adventure, and slobbering space monsters, Jo-Kin Battles the It is an intergalactic odyssey to be loved by any little earthling. Blast off with Jo-Kin for the ride of your life! -- Alison Stegert: School Counsellor, Teacher & Writer; 'A great plot. Well rounded characters and good mix of dialogue and action. You do fight scenes really well. Love the names of the creatures and the world you have built. -- Samantha Wheeler Author: Shortlisted Queensland Literary Award; 'Loved the cheeky tone - so hip and now. Really appreciate reading this story - fabulous.' -- Judge CYA Competition; I can see kids enjoying the action, robots and gizmos.'-- Charmaine Clancy: Teacher, Author; 'Loved the pace of your story. The plot is original. Kids as protectors of the universe will appeal to kids. -- Robin Adolphs: Children's Author & Ex-School Deputy Principal; 'Fast-moving and entertaining. Kids' Space School and programme entirely staffed by kids ... quite original. Emphasis on working as a team will go down well. Keep seeing this as a graphic novel.' -- Sally Odgers: Author to over 260 books & Editor; 'This action-packed, humorous story races along at a rocketing pace!'--Jacqui Halpin: Writer, Leader @ Write Links; 'Wow - what's life like at Space Kid's School? Josh must: survive the entry challenges, successfully master the super-tech gadgets and somehow ... SAVE the galaxy!' -- Judi Stroud: Teacher & Fantasy writer
