Boffin Boy and the Temple of Mars
by
David Orme
Illustrated by Peter Richardson
Boffin Boy is actually Rick Shaw, a 14-year-old schoolboy who uses his scientific mind to fight evil. In Boffin Boy and the Temples of Mars, Boffin Boy discovers an ancient building on Mars containing mysterious creatures.
The stylish manga-style artwork and the use of speech bubbles featuring simple text make this ideal for children who need a book with a low reading age (6-7 years) but high interest level. The story is no way juvenile, with plenty of action and humorous asides.

David Orme
David Orme has written too many books to count, ranging from fiction and non-fiction to poetry. He’s a Science Fiction fan and most of his fiction is in this genre, though he has written historical novels as well. He particularly enjoys exploring different ways of writing narratives such as graphic novel texts and ‘choose your own adventure’ stories.
His non fiction books cover a wide range, from Extreme Science to How to be a Pop Star. (He is unlikely ever to be one of those.)
