The Terrible Trows

Mike Newman is a qualified teacher and a professional freelance writer. Although he specialises in medical writing, occasionally he strays from the norm and follows his heart by writing for children. Currently he has created over 100 picture books for an educational establishment in Beijing. He is though aware that many children, and for myriad different reasons, struggle through life without ever having confidence in themselves as readers - and it is for this demographic which he enjoys, in his spare time, writing for most - reluctant readers. Sample from book: "The Hill-Trows they are evil, unseen or in disguise." "They hate all other creatures and plan for their demise." "But surely, mate," our Dave spoke out, "all this just can't be right?" "Times have changed, the Trows are gone, there's no reason for your fright?" "Oh, no," he said, "they are still here, they've lived here for all time." "They sit and lurk, invisible, and plot their next dark crime." "Oh, do shut up," Pete grumbled, "Are you certain they exist?" The Trow it rounded on him, "They are always in our midst!"
