Tales for kids who love the unexpected, this highly original collection of short stories demands to be read.

This imaginative collection of engaging short stories is perfect for all kids, from those who love reading, to those who struggle with books.

From a spaceship flight into a Black Hole, to a town plagued by zombie beavers; from a magical pen that knows all the answers to a test, to a crochet-loving pirate; this collection of original short stories by bestselling author Kes Gray will excite and inspire young readers not only to read on, but also to write and illustrate their own stories.

Fast-paced and action-packed, Good Bits is ideal for kids who need a bit of encouragement to keep them reading. The layout, clever use of typography and illustrations make the stories exciting and approachable, and the short story form is perfect for a quick adventure somewhere new. Written by award-winning children's author Kes Gray, Good Bits is exactly that - the brilliant characters, actions and settings that together spin a story that demands to be read.
