Can Someone Catch the Moon

Peter and Tom were best friends. Their favourite things at school were football and science. They were so excited to learn that the headteacher wanted to start a school football team. The chances of the team being successful were greatly increased when a new pupil joined who had amazing skills. Alex could do more keepie uppies than anyone else in the school. The science room, the Brain Box, was a wonderful inspiring place full of amazing displays and scientific equipment. All the children loved their teacher, Mr B. Imagine the boys upset and disappointment, when they learned that the football pitch and the Brain Box were to be demolished to make way for a new housing estate. What could the children do to stop it happening? Would they ever get to play in a football team and how could they help to keep their beloved science room safe?

After initially training as a nurse, Anne Beech stopped work to raise her two children. She returned to work but this time in an inner-city primary school. Anne really enjoyed working with the children. Reading is a vital skill and she loved helping the children to achieve their full potential. This also inspired her to write her own book based on the daily routine in a school that the children could easily relate to.
