Features:

• 36 books – 6 books featuring each of the six characters so kids can really get to know them• strong male and female characters• a variety of text type features• teaching notes and activities.

The day-to-day humdrum of Average Primary School can turn around as quickly as you can turn a page when Jesse and Harry go on their ‘incredibly devious, dastardly and hilarious adventures’ in Get Real! This popular series by best-selling author Phil Kettle will keep all 7–10 year olds hooked with its humorous characters and settings. It will especially appeal to reluctant readers.
