THE BOOK OLYMPICS

When Sally Strange stayed home 'sick' from school she didn't bet on her Grandpa's mad cap scientific invention, 'the Book Portal' landing her smack bang in the middle of the Book Olympics. As famous fictional champions battle it out to stay alive in the hearts and minds of children everywhere, can Sally ever hope to compete? Or is she in danger of being re-written forever? Come on a crazy journey of creativity as Sally learns important life lessons about courage, resilience, and self-confidence from the champions of fiction. From Odysseus to Captain Underpants, Percy Jackson to Bilbo Baggins, let the hero's of our imaginations teach us a thing or two about becoming real life champions.
