Terry and the Brilliant Book
Synopsis
Terry and Sue are best friends. And every year, for their birthdays, they give one another a ball. They love playing ball together! But then, one birthday, Sue gives Terry . . . a book! At first Terry is confused. You can't bounce a book, and you can't bat a book. What on earth is he meant to do with it? But when he eventually starts reading it, he finds the book is so good that he just can't put it down. And this brings a host of problems all of its own . . .
Published in the UK by Macmillan Children’s Books and in Turkey, Vietnam and China.
Reviews
“Warm, witty and wonderfully clever, Terry and the Brilliant Book speaks volumes about the delights of sharing, and the joy to be found in reading books as well as playing with friends.”
– Lancashire Evening Post
“Celebrates reading and sharing.”

“In an age where reading for pleasure is on the decline, it’s so important to see reading depicted as a pastime that’s as enjoyable as sport, a trip to the cinema, and playing in the park. The cheerful illustrations painted in sweet shop hues using a combination of colour washes, printing and bold blocks of colour will really appeal to young readers.”
