Aprašymas

Synopsis: Jake is a nine-year-old boy who lives in a small town in Australia. Recuperating at home with a broken leg, he is feeling lonely and bored. Then he remembers his old friend, Chadwick, a friendly elf. With his round and cheery yellow face, protruding pointy ears and colourful Aussie clothes, Chadwick makes for an unforgettable sight! ---- Chadwick reminds Jake of the magic purple powder that Jake was given by a strange woman down the street. When he takes a spoonful of the powder, Jake shrinks to the size of Chadwick. ---- Jake, along with his unlikely group of friends - including his best friend, Sam, as well as the annoying girl next door, a bully and the class nerd - all take the powder and go off on adventures with the elf. Meanwhile, the kids discover that the powder has some strange side effects: it gives you super powers! ----- About the Author: Glynis Bloomfield is an Australian who has worked as a teacher for 25 years in primary and special education schools in Australia, the United Kingdom and the Middle East. ----- As a teacher, Glynis has a great interest in developing the self-esteem of her students and invoking confidence and trust, as well as developing an awareness of their role in respecting and protecting the environment. ----- The satisfaction she has gained through watching children mesmerised as they are told, rather than read, a story, has had a profound effect on Glynis and led her to put her stories in writing. -----
