This title is uniquely written with the help of 2300 children as part of the The Story Adventure. The author posted a chapter a week online which incorporated the children's ideas and suggestions.
It is the madcap sequel to Shrunk! and is sure to be picked up with the same alacrity as the first one and also as a consequence of the unique involvement of the children who took part in The Story Adventure.
A Piece of Passion from Sara O'Connor, Editorial Director, Hot Key Books
Who knew 150 people could be so good at writing a book together? This book is very special, because Fleur opened her creative process to the entire internet, and took suggestions from over 2,000 registered schoolchildren about what direction her story should go in. Everything from the parrot's squawks, to Tilly's revenge, to whether or not Professor Lee was genuinely evil, were put forward by the kids.
I'm so proud of Fleur for taking a risk and so proud of all the kids for their incredible creativity. If you want to see whose ideas made it into the story, take a sneaky look at the last few pages of the book, where all of their names are listed.
All is quiet in the sleepy seaside town of Bywater-by-Sea, that is until a second meteorite falls to earth - landing in the middle of the Field Craft Troop's outdoor expedition camp. Tom is faced with a growing problem, Jacob can suddenly set things on fire, and it's only a matter of time until he realises that it's not spontaneous combustion that is causing so much havoc.
