“Failure is just a buzz away from greatness” … Rory Green is afraid of insects. And mud. And adventures. In fact, he is frightened of most things. But when his family drags him on a camping holiday to Great Oaks Forest, Rory soon discovers that in order to save the planet he loves he will have to do more than read books about it and recycle his old cereal boxes.
With the help of his bee side-kick Bobbee, and his newfound friends, Rory learns to let go of his fears and believe in himself, as he embarks on an epic adventure to save his family’s favourite woodland.
‘An educational, inspiring and comical story that highlights how every child can play a part in helping the planet.’ – Alice Keverne, Founder of Nature Nurture Kids
A BBC Writers Room shortlisted writer, Kerry McIntosh draws her inspiration from real people, choosing to focus on a message of positivity through adversity and advocate for change.
Kerry struggled with school life; at the time low in confidence, she spent many classes staring out of classroom windows dreaming. Whilst reading was enjoyed, a difficulty focusing played a part in many books being cast aside. Now she is passionate about writing empowering, fast-paced and immersive children’s books to keep her young readers gripped to the end and inspired beyond.
Kerry has chosen a Dyslexia-friendly font for Rory Green, Secret Agent to the Queen, to encourage children who may struggle with reading to engage with her story and discover the joy of reading.
