Oshie (Walker Racing Reads)

Oshie (Walker Racing Reads)

by JonBlake (Author), Anuska Allepuz (Illustrator)

Synopsis

Oshie is an engaging, funny, enthusiastic and often rebellious boy - it just so happens he has cerebral palsy. In these four stories - from Oshie's starting at a new school and being shunned for his inability to play football to saving the day on the pitch - he wins the admiration, and hearts, of his classmates for the abilities which compensate for, and partially arise, out of his disability. "Racing Reads" are pacy and engaging first novels for the newly independent reader. Each book is extensively illustrated and the story-per-chapter structure is ideal for building reading confidence.
