Space Band: The out-of-this-world new adventure from the number-one-bestselling author Tom Fletcher

Product Information

What I loved the most is that McFly recorded all the songs in this book and you can listen to them while reading the book! He is also a music-making, song-writing, guitar-playing, Guinness World Record-holding, nappy changing, galaxy-defending dad! George, Neila and Bash are the worst band on Earth, but George desperately wants them to be brilliant! The characters are also far less interesting and there is a lack of humour that his other books excel at.

The out-of-this-world new adventure from number-one-bestselling author of The Danger Gang and The Christmasaurus: Tom Fletcher. My only quibble is that you can only listen to the whole songs if you subscribe to a music streaming service. As well as his career as an author, by the age of 21, Tom had penned 10 UK number 1 singles and is the founding member of the band McFLY. They're now competing against aliens from every galaxy and if they don't win, they risk never coming back to earth again! The Christmasaurus was the biggest debut middle-grade novel of 2016 and was shortlisted for a British Book Award, since then Tom has published several more chart-topping children’s novels including The Creakers, The Christmasaurus and the Winter Witch and the instant number one bestseller The Danger Gang.Voor sommigen zullen de liedjes die de kinderen via de Qr codes kunnen beluisteren ook een sterk punt zijn. Nevertheless, when their school announces a Battle of the Bands, they know they're going to enter- George has been writing every song he can think of in his Book of Rock (aka a textbook he's liberated from his science class) and he's sure they'll ROCK the show! When he’s not making music as a member of pop band McFly, being a father of three, or busting moves on the Strictly dancefloor, Tom Fletcher is writing children’s books. This was a fun book about the worst band of Earth (well according to their neighbours) being beamed up to compete in a competition.

I’m also not a fan of the QR codes to listen to the songs sung by McFly - reading time in our house is usually before bed and I didn’t want to encourage screen time then!

Despite their lack of talent and confidence they are a great bunch and each of them is determined to blow their friends away at the Battle of the Bands competition at school. Their school's Battle of the Bands contest is coming up but after being beamed up into space, they end up battling alien bands from all over the galaxy! There are QR codes throughout the book that take you to a song George has written and IS PERFORMED BY MCFLY! It was a rock star book and I loved reading it, especially the bit where megavolt nearly put his fist on the red button to eclipse all the planets. Maar dit hoeft geen eindpunt te zijn, stuur je boekenwurm niet met de keuze om nog een hoofdstuk te lezen in zijn bed.

De boeken van Tom zijn altijd bijzonder om te lezen, de illustraties ondersteunen het verhaal zee zeker. George wants them to be brilliant - but Neila has stage fright, and Bash is too distracted by his obsession with stars, aliens and faraway planets.En aan mijn medebuddyreaders : Eefje, eline, minibieb, Mariska, nikki : spreken we af dat we de volgende Tom Fletcher ook samen lezen? The Christmasaurus is currently being developed by The Greatest Showman director Michael Gracey into an animated, feature-length movie with original songs written by Tom. The album has eight songs on it, which are based on characters and storylines from the book, and is inspired by Tom's real life experience in the band McFly and his friendship with bandmates Danny Jones, Harry Judd, and Dougie Poynter. There is music, aliens, a secret (which wasn't that secret as I figured out Neila quite early on), band-battles, life debts, a big scary star with a bigger attitude, fun illustrations, good characters, a chimp named Armstrong, lots of excitement, a great ending that made me cheer and laugh. An out-of-this-world new adventure from bestselling author of THE DANGER GANG and THE CHRISTMASAURUS, Tom Fletcher.

However, what makes this book stand out is the electric soundtrack that accompanies it, offering a great hook to encourage children to read with the promise of occasional music breaks. Since then, Tom has published several more chart-topping children's novels including The Christmasaurus and the Winter Witch, The Christmasaurus and the Naughty List, The Creakers and the instant number-one bestseller The Danger Gang.De QR codes die je kan scannen zodat je de muziek kan beluisteren van de lyrics die George schreef is een erg cool idee. The Brit Award-winning band has sold over 10 million records worldwide and Tom has also written songs for other artists including One Direction, Busted and 5SOS.
