Spaceman John the (Nearly) Bold
Laura Ellen Anderson, Johnny Smith
‘My name is JOHN SMITH. Dad says with a name like John Smith no one
will EVER make fun of you. Mum says I’m ‘one in a MILLION’. But
just because I got what my sister calls ‘the most BORING name in
the history of names..,.’ do not judge a book by its cover. My
life is ANYTHING but boring! But here’s this thing you should know:
I have this massive, massive, MASSIVE secret. I can travel into
other worlds and go on AMAZING adventures. Granddad was an adventurer
too. It’s this big thing we share. Granddad says we’re members
of something called the John Smith Club. He says you don’t have
to have a fancy name to have a big adventure – just because you
sound like a NOBODY you might be a SOMEBODY. Granddad says if
you meet somebody called John Smith, he might have this BIG secret
too. I joined the John Smith Club on my last birthday and since
then I’ve been on all kinds of incredible escapades. So now you
know.’

My mummy read this book to me. We enjoyed this story as it was very funny. John went into space to mend a satellite, so they could watch the football, but he ended up damaging another satellite that was showing a dance show that his sister was watching in the process! I would recommend this book for a story full of imagination.
