Dominic Barker was born in 1966 in Southport only months after England won the World Cup. He studied English at Birmingham University, and subsequently was a stand-up comic with the likes of Frank Skinner and Alan Davies, then a secondary school teacher, before writing his first series for young readers about a teenage detective, Mickey Sharp. Dominic has since written three anarchic spoof-quests featuring the hapless hero Blart (the boy who didn’t want to save the world) and is currently working on a new stand alone novel called Adam and the Arkonauts. Dominic lives in Spain.
A fantastic new hero, and equally brilliant villain, from the master of both is coupled with hilarious one-liners and dialogue. Plenty of intrigue, a dastardly plot in which the evil professor Scabelax, seeking nothing less than world domination of not just humans but animals too, is set against a Adam, a young and ordinary boy but a boy with an unusual skill. Together with his friends some of which are rather opinionated characters including animals they set out to stop the villain of the story in his tracks.
Hilarious adventures of a reluctant hero. Blart is back for a new set of adventures. This time he is on a deadly mission to save Princess Lois – and he doesn’t even like her! Sailing across the treacherous sea he is besieged by cut throat pirates and the deadly Guild of Assassins. Can the ever-resourceful hero win through? This is the third book in the series. ~ Julia Eccleshare Perfect for Reluctant Readers as well as keen readers. To view other titles we think are suitable for reluctant readers please click here.
A second story about Blart, a fifteen year old who has already saved the world from the evil Zoltab. Now Blart embarks on a second set of hair-raising adventures which he is tricked into having lost a game of Muggins to Uther Slywort. Blart’s adventures are ridiculous, exciting – and always involve a pig. This is the second title in the series that also includes Blart and Blart 3: The Boy Who Set Sail on a Questionable Quest.
Humour and madcap action by the bucket load. You can’t fail to get the most reluctant of readers enthused about reading once they’ve been introduced to Blart, the far from average boy. You’re in for a treat. This is the first in the series which also includes Blart 2 and Blart 3: The Boy Who Set Sail on a Questionable Quest.
