Sponge Cake Man

By Mr Heff

A tale to delight readers of all ages- a fast-paced, action-packed, humorous adventure where a new sort of superhero is unleashed.

Francis was bullied at school, so his grandmother designed a special suit to help him, with features similar to Batman, Superman, Spiderman, and a bouncy trampoline.

One of the suit's main functions allows Francis to throw slightly addictive sponges into the faces of the bad guys.

Hence the name Sponge Cake Man.

There are lots of bad guys in the school and the city:

The Sludge Creek Gang which terrorizes school pupils.The Cockroach - a mafia-type gang lord and his thugs.The deadly and mysterious Grabbers -ghostlike creatures that flit in and out of the story.The sinister Aliens who are intent on world domination.A corrupt police force and their riot breaker Godzilla.

And many more...

Lots of humour - the suit doesn't always function as expected.Memorable characters will become unforgettable:

The bumbling constable Arbuckle

Gabriella Nightingale who tries to brighten up the drab city.

The ladies from the rest home and their mobile scooters

And many more...

In the end, Sponge Cake Man realizes that true heroism comes from the support of family and friends.

And that courage and determination to stand up to bullies can be achieved one sponge cake at a time.

Discussion questions to aid critical thinking, suggested imagination booster activities, and a delicious sponge cake recipe included.
