The fourth hilarious book in the brilliant STEM adventure series Leonora Bolt. With glorious illustrations by Gladys Jose throughout. Read this exclusive extract from Lucy Brandt’s debut book Leonora Bolt: Secret Inventor. Leonora Bolt may only be nine years old but she’s already an epic inventor. However, her Uncle Luther has some evil plans in store for her greatest invention yet… Does the book contain anything that teachers would wish to know about before recommending in class (strong language, sensitive topics etc.)? Fox siblings Ted and Nancy live in the big city but decide to find Grimwood, a faraway forest where they can lie low. Nadia Shireen’s first illustrated middle grade novel is a brilliantly hilarious and heartwarming tale, full of her trademark anarchic humour. With massive mechanoid fights, explosions and laser battles, this fourth comic book adventure for the Mega Robo Bros once again asks thoughtful questions about what makes us human and features its customary cast of diverse characters.

Leonora was brave and I loved how she faced challenges head on, I liked her relationship with Millie the cook and how she made friends easily. Why are dogs domesticated? Why are sweets bad for you? These, and 364 other questions (including an extra one for a leap year), were sent to Molly Oldfield for her children's podcast Everything Under The Sun, and are answered in one extremely helpful book. Leonora HAS to enter - it's her best-ever chance to finally stop Luther's dangerous games! But she can't enter as herself - he'll never allow that - so she'll need a foolproof disguise, and a brilliant idea for a winning invention . . .This clever story within a story teaches important lessons about perspective as well as a variety of literary and drawing techniques. I loved Leonora! What a fabulous and fun character, and a joy to read. An inspirational character for young readers.
