Overview:
Meet Jenny Pearson’s warm-hearted trio of adventures, perfect for confident young readers who crave humour, heart, and a dash of mischief. Grandpa Frank's Great Big Bucket List follows Frank John Davenport after he inherits a surprising windfall with very strict instructions—and a brand-new grandpa. He chases a chorus of extraordinary experiences—hot-air balloon rides, monster-truck lessons, epic parkour—while discovering that money cannot buy happiness, and that family and moments shared are priceless. The Incredible Record Smashers invites readers into a gleefully chaotic world of Guinness World Records, where clever schemes, friendship, and fearless trying-out come together in a feel-good, kid-centered caper. The Super-Miraculous Journey of Freddie Yates charts Freddie’s unforgettable misadventures with his two best friends as they tumble from funny mishaps to a national-television moment, proving that loyalty, imagination, and a little courage can turn any ordinary day into something magical. Unified by Pearson’s buoyant voice, these stories blend humour with warmth and a family-first sensibility.

It’s a binge-worthy set that works as a gateway to Pearson’s world and as a confident, gift-ready bookshelf staple for fans of contemporary children’s fiction.

Books Included in This Collection:
Grandpa Frank's Great Big Bucket List
Frank John Davenport unexpectedly inherits a fortune—and a set of strict instructions that usher in a new grandpa. He chases a lineup of extraordinary experiences—from hot-air balloon rides to parkour challenges—while learning that love and meaning come from the people who matter most. This story blends warmth with light adventure, inviting readers to consider what truly makes life valuable beyond the latest thrill-seeking impulse. The humor lands gently, and the emotional beat lands hard, making it a standout opening to the collection.

The Incredible Record Smashers
A lively, feel-good adventure built around Guinness World Records, this title pairs brisk momentum with big-hearted moments. The narrator’s charm and Pearson’s knack for witty banter keep the pace brisk as characters race, cheer, and learn what it takes to chase a goal—teamwork, perseverance, and a healthy dose of silliness. It’s a celebration of curiosity and resilience, anchored in friendship and the delight of celebrating small and large achievements alike.

The Super-Miraculous Journey of Freddie Yates
Freddie’s escapades—with Big Trev, onion-eating challenges, and a memorable potty-match turn—sound chaotic, yet the story lands with warmth.
