Product Description
Product Description
Brave Dave was brought into existence by a strange coincidence of events namely, a migration of swans, Halloween, and some lightning at 8:14pm. He was never prepared for the world he brought into, as he never had expected to be there. But being of the mind-set he is, Brave Dave is determined to make the best of it, and to do that he has to make an impact. In taking this decision it is obvious to him that there is only one thing he can do, and that is to help anyone and everyone, he feels needs help. Dave never realised the scale of the task he had set himself, but gradually, he becomes aware of the predicament he has put himself in. However, he knows he must succeed in his task. Throughout his journey of discovery he comes to the understanding he has to accept certain things of the new world he is in, and through that acceptance he eventually achieves his goals.
About the Author
Simon Woodward created Brave Dave to demonstrate to children, aged between 7 and 14, that the world they live in, can be as rewarding as they want it to be, even if it's just through the consideration of others and without necessitating a certificate that says that much. He has attempted to make the story enjoyable on an adult level, so that, when parents read it to their children, they could get as much out of it as their children do. The Brave Dave character and friends have been brought to life, in illustration, by an extremely talented artist, namely, Ralph Platt.

This book will not disappoint!,

This review is from: Brave Dave - Book I: The Makings of a Hero (Paperback)
This book inspired me. It was a perfect first novel and an unforgettable adventure. Simon Woodward's great creation brings an inspiring story of bravery and determination,in acheiving goals,through the acceptance of situations.
The Brave Dave character is portrayed as a feather and does not disappoint. The storyline has an imaginative, supernatural thread, that makes a refreshing read. Although the book is aimed at 7-14 year olds, I think adults will also find it a captivating read. I can't wait for book 2!

This review is from: Brave Dave - Book I: The Makings of a Hero (Paperback)
Your kids will like this and so will you! This book is certainly different to others you may read particularly when it involves some unusual characters that you wouldn't normally associate with super-heros. My kids loved reading the book who are 7 and 9. The author obviously has a huge imagination and wit. Every character is different (and a little unlikely) and has their own funny personalities which kept me and my girls amused throughout the book. The book is very easy to follow and has a good story with a happy ending. The ending suggests there will be other stories to follow, so I will be looking forward to getting these when they next come out.
