Reviews

[Sofia · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a fantastic book for boys who need to be introduced to reading for pleasure, it lets the imagination flow as you are the hero of the book and get to decide your own destiny. After every section, you are given two options to decide what you would do next – either your decision will make you fail the mission or be successful in the task of defeating Hurrikano, Lord of the Airworlds. It starts with two agents coming to ask if you want to help them save the world, if you make the right choices within the book, you have an opportunity to wear a high-tech suit, fly a plane, and also choose which weaponry to use. This book can be used for independent reading in upper KS2 as well as guided reading. It can also be used in golden time as a classroom activity in which the class vote on which option to choose.
