The little one has started Reception in July this year and I find
myself looking forward to reading every Friday night the book he’s
chosen from the school library.
Lately, he’s been hooked into the Zac Power series. Zac Power is a
12-year old boy who goes to school like any ordinary boy his age. Zac, however, is anything but ordinary as he is actually a government spy agent who
carries the code name Agent Rock Star. In fact, all the members in his family
are secret agents! This family undertakes all sorts of hair-raising missions
and they’ve got the coolest gadgets imaginable.
He has ruefully told me that a lot of the kids in his school are enamoured with
the series and there’s a jostle during lunch break to get hold of these books. I
promised the little one that if he reaches his 50th reading night,
his reward will be his own Zac Power book. Imagine his utter delight when what
he got was a book with four missions! He said, “Mom, not even the Library has a
book with four missions in it. At most, each book has only two. Now I have
a book as thick as yours!”
You can be
sure that my smile was as big as his that night I gave him his reward.
