Description

Jamie’s father seems hesitant to sign the consent form, leaving Jamie confused about why that might be. James can find relief with his beloved Nan, she's been having worrying falls , and James can't tell anyone, or she might be sent to a faraway care home. But he's being bullied by a boy at school, and as the secrets build up, James begins to lose his spark. Another variation, armed with the same rapid-fire laser as the "Point", and an array of medium-range and mini-missiles to defend itself and other Glitter Boys from aerial attacks.

James is such a fantastic, likeable and relatable character that you feel like you want nothing to dim his light! James is in year six and loves all things Mariah and anything that is as fabulous she is, like dancing and singing.

Another important topic is that young readers are introduced to LGBTQIA+, which I think is fabulous, and there is even a little quiz at the end of the book to help with knowledge and understanding. The story includes many classic elements—school bullies, an unsupportive parent—but in a completely new and realistic manner.

A gay children’s author on the news talking about an LGBTQ+ inclusive book, Section 28, and homophobic bullying? I had no idea where the characters were going to take me and was shocked when I wrote Chapter 10 and *that moment*. I loved the character James and all the different emotions and feelings he goes through and think there is probably a character like James in every primary school. It’s a heartwarming and often moving story about learning to not just be yourself but to help others become more tolerant and accepting of those who are different. This is a space-borne version of the original G-10 nearly identical except for modifications to allow it to operate in Zero Gravity.Ian has taught in primary schools for 13 years and during this time has been a member of the senior management team, a phase leader, and literacy co-ordinator. Nevertheless, each of these suits is legendary and their respective pilots are celebrities not by name or by face, but by association with the armor they step out of.

Every day he plays and hangs out with his friends Harriet, Nathan and Joel, and then after school sees his Nan on the way home.A Polari-Prize-winning author presents an unforgettable story about a boy facing up to bullying - and his own truths.
