![]() The worlds biggest educational publisher, Pearson, will publish a hardback edition of The Ice Cream Con following superb feedback from teachers on Jimmy Docherty's novel: "We have had an excellent response to this title from our panel of teachers and educational consultants, who believe that it has real potential as a class reader. We were all incredibly impressed by its fast-paced plot, wonderful humour, superbly crafted dialogue and fascinating characters. It's a fantastic read, that will hook all students from the very first page.We believe that this is a novel that will really appeal to teachers as a class reader and, with the development of accompanying teacher's support matched to the needs of the revised Key Stage 3 curriculum, one that will have the potential for real sales success in the educational market. The gripping storyline and warm humour will no doubt grab pupils and keep them engaged in the novel, keen to find out what happens next. Teachers will love the opportunities presented to explore the writer's craft through the author's high-quality writing, in particular the wonderful dialogue.' |
