The Amazing
Adventures of Scary Bones the Skeleton
The Happiest,
Friendliest Skeleton ANYWHERE!
Stories
for Children 5/6 to 12 EVERYWHERE!
Independent Review :‘fun
from
the very first page. Ron Dawson has a naturally funny voice and his
words twist
and dance in a hugely entertaining and captivating way. My daughter and
I both
had a good giggle many times at his fantastic turn of phrase. His
characters
are original and charming and there’s just the right amount
of villainy and
drama to excite and to thrill. The action-packed, humorous and original
stories
will appeal to both boys and girls.’

In
this fifth adventure, Scary Bones and his friends are transported back
to Roman Britain by the Celt Queen Do-you-see-her. Captured by the
Maximus and Minimus, the nearly nastiest of all nasty romans, they are
thrown into the arena by the Roman Governor, Verymuch Ridiculous, to
fight the fearsome
gladiators Biggest Bullyous and Baddest Brutus and the terrible Richard
the hungry lion. Can Scary Bones, with the help of his magic Red String
save himself and his friends from certain death in the arena?
‘The children identify with Scary Bones, Sasha and Ben and regard them as friends. The stories capture their imagination. They love the cliff-hangers in the stories and guessing what happens next. The use of actual places intrigues them. It makes the stories even more real, and provides opportunities for further learning and a broadening of their experiences. Their biggest accolade is when we finish a story; they immediately ask to hear or read another. (PS. Teachers enjoy the stories as much as the children!)’ .

by Ron Dawson
The title is drawn from William Blake's The Sick Rose, and is a unique dark thriller that 'looks into the psyche of a multiple killer driven to kill by his love for his mother. Ron Dawson's stunning narrative enters the disturbed mind of the killer with such credibility that it is both horrifying and fascinating .. ...A dark tale that weaves murder with the strongest of sexual taboos. I couldn't put it down.' Sue Bates, MA.(Book Reviewer).
