“According to UNESCO the biggest single indicator of whether a child is going to thrive at school and in work is whether or not they read for pleasure. Pleasure can’t be taught. Pleasure can only be shared. When my Dad took me down the park, with a flyway, he did not say, “Right, son, I’m going to teach you some basic ball skills, work on general fitness and spatial awareness and if you’re really good, then in a few years’ time, we’ll have a game of footie.” No, he played with me. The fact that he was having fun too was really important. Our hope is that the stories in HEROES will be shared and enjoyed in the classroom by pupil and teacher alike. Because pleasure is the most powerful motivation.”

Frank Cottrell Boyce, Series Editor.

When they are shipwrecked on another remote island, Owen beings to wonder. And that’s before they hear strange noises in the darkness, before they find the empty research station, before the monsters begin hunting!
