Reviews
Our Bookish Days “This is a fun story with the underlying message of family connection and enjoying hobbies together. It is a reminder that when we can, it is nice to be able to share our joys and interests together, but to be patient, as everyone’s lives are busy. Just a heads up after reading this book, your kids may start trying to trick shot everything around the house and begin spouting introductory monologues for their trick shots to a non existent audience. 😂 Trick Shot Trevor is an ideal text level for middle primary, with illustrations throughout, breaking up the text to create a snappy and enjoyable read.”
It’s a Librarian Life “Trick Shot Trevor: Frisbee Fiasco, written by Amy Adeney and illustrated by Peter William Popple is a story about chasing a big dream. It’s also a great story about coping with your experiences along the way and being able to see and balance other important factors in life as well, like your family. This brand new series is going to be a wonderful addition to your home or school library. With eight chapters in this book, it’s the perfect length for young children transitioning into small chapter books. An enjoyable read!”
Aussie Kids Books “This is a perfect book to share with your emerging reader, with its fun fast-paced plot, lots of illustrations which so warmly and realistically depict the fun and chaos of family life, and relatable themes of perseverance, family relationships, and learning what is truly important.”
I Dream of All the Books “What I liked:
* Trevor’s dedication - for a kid, his hyper focus on learning frisbee tricks should be commended… with maybe a little encouragement on how to balance his plans with life! 🤣
* The way Trevor interacted with his neighbour, Mr. Pelham - and the accompanying breakdown of how to talk to an adult! (Clear voice, eye contact and a smile!)
* Trevor recognising that the way he felt when he was brushed off was the same way his family felt when he did the same thing - that is some clear social emotional intelligence right there!”
Get Kids Booked “Fun, clever and hilarious, this book will make kids squeal with delight when they see all that Trevor gets up to with his frisbee, disc golf and video antics! His best mates Sonny and Kit are the perfect side kicks for an entertaining story. Designed for kids starting to read middle grade, it’s a humorous and achievable read.“
