After telling stories from History to children in classrooms for many years and reading other people’s stories to his own children at bedtime, teacher Andy Donaldson finally decided to write a book of his own. Rain Town is a comical twist on the perennial children’s favourite, the classic comic book “superhero”, and will appeal to children due to its well-paced, engaging and humorous story.
Sidney Rain is an ordinary man with an ordinary job in an ordinary town. Except for the fact that sometimes at night he dresses up as a superhero and heads out living his fantasy. But he’s putting on weight, is about to lose his job and he’s generally not feeling particularly super at all.
Stanley Rain is Sidney’s 12 year old son. He’s an ordinary boy with ordinary friends at an ordinary school. But that school is being taken over by a local entrepreneur and is changing for the worst. And Stanley is not going to let that happen without a fight.
When a mysterious theft takes place, Stanley and his friends will need to turn detective to help save their school. And after being fired at work by his new boss, Sidney will need his friends to help save his soul.
“I wanted to read books to my kids that had a big heart and made us laugh, cry and love the characters. In the end, I wrote one for us,” comments Andy.
Rain Town is Andy Donaldson’s debut children’s book, and is ideal for children age 9 and over, and for parents too– who may well be reading it!
