Early Readers are stepping stones from picture books to reading books. A blue Early Reader is perfect for sharing and reaading together. A red Early Reader is the next step on your reading journey.

Marvin loves going on his adventures with his grandad – escaping from hairy yetis, taking daytrips to Mars, and hunting ferocious tigers – all without leaving the house. Marvin thinks his grandad is the bravest person he’s ever met; he even has a medal from the war to prove it. And, more than anything else, Marvin wants to be brave too.

But when Grandad must go on his final adventure alone, Marvin finds he has to be braver than he’s ever been before. Until he discovers that Grandad has left behind a very special surprise just for him . . .

A touching and poignant Early Reader story, perfect for children coming to terms with grief for the first time.

This book is when a boy was going on adventures in his grandpa's house with his grandad but soon his grandpa passed away and before he died he gave his grandson a medal that he won in the war. The boy really wanted this medal.

It was a fiction book. It was about Marvin and his grandad’s adventures. It was sad at the end as the Grandad died but he left Marvin his medal and he was allowed to have it.
