Trials in schools with 'Bo, Zero to Hero'

have shown that children, while loving this gripping adventure also benefit from the many positive messages.

Sophie Yr 6

My favourite part of your amazing book was when Bo got stuck in the cobweb, but his friends went out without him. I like this part because it leaves it to your imagination. Altogether it was a great book with astonishing illustrations.  It was a gripping story and a great read. I can't wait until the second book.

Vandana Yr 6

I really enjoyed your story. I think that all the characters developed a lot. I liked the theme of taxidermy because it's very unusual. My favourite characters were Pip and Tuff because they were a comic duo and made the atmosphere of the story happy, lively and fun. It's for all ages and a reasonably sized book. I also think the layout was almost immaculate; there were some amazing ideas.

I loved "Ray n Bo". Ray is really funny and is an amazing character in the book.  Bo is so brave and inspiring. He has gone from "Zero to Hero" and helped all his friends.  Bo taught me that I can be anything / anyone I want to be. 

Rebecca W Yr 6

I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it to my friends.  I liked how every part of the story was unexpected.  Also, I liked the fact that all the good characters are animals and that their names were imaginative.  This is one of the few books I have NOTHING bad to say about !! (I love it!!!)

I liked this book because Bo was scared and helpless, but then faced his fears. He did not follow Maximilian, he followed his senses, there is a good moral to the story.  I enjoyed looking at the pictures in the book, it made reading more interesting.

Tom Yr 5

I couldn't stop reading Bo, Zero to Hero and had to keep turning the pages to find out what happens in the end.

Beautiful words and amazing illustrations.  Lots of action, suspense, humour and a great tale of friendship.

James G Yr 6

This was a fantastic story that told a tale of a cute little caterpillar called Bo who had to overcome a bullying mosquito...the moral of the story was to teach us to always carry on and not let people put you down.  You should always believe in yourself.   

Charlotte Yr 5

I really enjoyed the book Bo Zero to Hero because it is not just for young ones it is for all ages and most books are not like that. I love how you put in the book messages for young ones for their future like to stay positive and better things will happen to you.

Sebastian Yr 5

I really enjoyed the book because it was full of surprises!  When you described how Bo had no family it was very descriptive... it reminded me of my nannie... so maybe you could put emotional in the blurb.  Sebastian

I really enjoyed reading this book because it shows that however small you are does not stop you from doing big things in life... I thought the illustrations were very detailed as well as vibrant.    

The most beautiful children's story book we have discovered  within three generations of our family, this is  truly a classic and will give joy to generations yet to come.

A beautifully presented book that feels great when you first hold it then gets increasingly better as you open it and start to read. The stunning illustrations draw you into a gripping and powerful story that deals with important and all too common issues that children face in contemporary society. An enjoyable must-read for parents and children of all ages.

Give it time. Bo Zero to Hero is a classic maturing between beautiful maroon covers. Gary Plant's illustrations are truly world class. The funny and moving storyline deals with the timeless and enduring fear we all experience all our lives - will I get picked for the team? Any team will do just so long as we are all in it together. We just want to belong. Bo belongs to all of us now and all I really care about now is what happens next. 

Come on Bo!

Andrew M, Glos

My Grandchildren loved this book, what an important message for the little people and the little person inside us all. Inspiring and fun. 

Sue W, Merseyside

What a brilliant book! Wonderful story, great characters - some you'll love, others you'll love to hate. A truly entertaining, inspirational ride for children of all ages, and not to be missed. Looking forward to the next in the series. Bravo Bo!
