Jimmy Boon: The Super Resilient Ranga Book

Jimmy Boon: The Super Resilient Ranga is a brilliant, illustrated chapter book suitable for ages 5 - 12 years old. It's a story of a modern-day superhero and covers the themes of resilience, being kind, always doing the right thing and dealing with bullies. It encourages children to use the power of a positive mind to navigate life's challenges.

Jimmy Boon was born in the middle of a thunderstorm with a mop of bright, gingery, ranga* red hair. He is the most positive lad - full of energy and not scared of anything. People are in awe of Jimmy and know he is different but don’t realise he has magical powers. Jimmy loves helping people and doing the right thing. Artemis and his gang are super jealous of Jimmy and determined to break his happy spirit. They plan nasty things and are mean about his ranga hair. Will they succeed, or will Jimmy’s resilience and secret superpowers teach them a lesson?

(*Ranga = orangutan. Can be used in good or bad spirit to describe someone with bright hair.)
