Boffin Boy And the Invaders from Space

Boffin Boy

by David Orme

Boffin Boy and Wu Pee must fight the scaly Snurgeon space invaders and stop them from stealing all of the Earth's water! The Boffin Boy books all feature Rick Shaw, an extremely clever 14 year-old who is only interested in science. When his father is killed he vows to use his scientific skills to fight evil - as Boffin Boy! The Boffin Boy series of 12 books is designed for young, independent readers, as well as struggling readers aged 8 to 14. The use of speech bubbles and a simplified Manga style ensure that the books have simple language and low word counts that are ideal for lower reading ages. The first six books in the series have a reading age of 6 - 7 and the second six have a higher reading age of 7 - 8.

Boffin Boy is a science geek who saves the world from various perils. In this story Aliens are taking all of the worlds water. The comic book style illustrations are exciting and colourful. My 7 yr old dyslexic daughter loves these quirky books and we can't wait to read the rest of the series.

It's a just-started-reading-alone comic. It's cute! Sort of silly, but cute.
