Books with author Rosie Clarke

People are asking, ‘Could Henry be the new Harry?’ And why not?HENRY MEETS THE GOWER SMUGGLERS is one of a series of eight books for children written by Ron Clarke. Ron is a member of the Swansea Astronomical Society and developed the two principle characters, Henry and Alien, while a member of the educational team. Each story features Henry and Alien in a series of different adventures and situations, some ordinary and others fantastical. The stories are designed to stimulate the child’s imagination and motivate them to write similar stories. Danger plays a big part in every story as it is only then that ordinary boys and girls can become heroes and important to us all. Without heroes we have nothing to look up to. Evil is overcome but not without a struggle and sometimes sacrifice. The stories entertain, educate and magnify the dangers that lurk in children’s minds but the overriding theme is that of hope.Be sure to check out the other books in the series – a percentage of the sales of the books will go towards a new observatory for the society.
