Rudy and the Skate Stars: a Times Children's Book of the Week Paul Westmoreland 9780192782557

With boundless energy and an impulsive nature, Rudy is always ready to follow the scent of adventure! And with his loyal pack of friends by his side there's nothing he can't achieve. When Rudy and his friends discover that the Skate Stars competition has come to their hometown they can't wait to enter and show off their skills. But then some older wolf boys spot Rudy practising his tricks and ask him to enter with them instead and drop Femi and Edie, saying that he's much more likely to win he does. Rudy's always dreamed of being on top of the podium with a gold medal around his neck. But could he really do that to his friends? How much is Rudy willing to win, and is he prepared for what might he lose. . . ? Howlingly cool illustrations and an irresistible character finding his way in the world make Rudy and the Skate Stars the ideal choice for those looking to bridge the gap between picture books and independent reading.

Reviews
*** A Times Children's Book of the Week ***
"Encouraging kids to read their first chapter books can be tricky, but just like Rudy and his kickflips off the half-pipe, this one nails it. Gnarly, as the skater kids might say, but in the gentlest of ways." * Lucy Bannerman, The Times *
"George Ermos's super-cool illustrations help break up the text and ramp up the action." * Jill bennett, Red Reading Hub *
"A cool skateboarding werewolf protagonist!" * Harriet Muncaster, author of the Isadora Moon series *
