What’s in a name, asks this new series of madcap adventures for young readers. John Smith is fed up with being teased for having the most boring name in the world, until his granddad lets him into an amazing secret: there’s a magical John Smith society, offering travel to faraway lands and crazy adventures.
These begin in an old box of dressing up clothes he finds under his bed so when he puts on a pirate hat and coat, John is transformed into Captain John the Fierce, famed for single-handedly eating a whole Portugese Man-of-War jellyfish with custard and chocolate sprinkles, and finds himself up against the equally reckless Captain Black.
As a knight in armour in the Middle Ages, he makes friends with Oswald Periwinkle, who also suffers from having an incredibly boring name, and together they take on Ivan the Horrible. Author Johnny Smith (see what he’s done there?) is a Hollywood screenwriter, and these pacey, funny stories are bursting with original ideas. Great fun, whatever your name is! ~ Andrea Reece
