Description - Jake's Secret by Glynis Bloomfield
Jake is a nine-year-old boy who lives in a small town in Australia. Having fallen from a tree, he is recuperating at home with a broken leg. Spending six weeks in a plaster cast makes Jake feel very lonely and bored. Then he remembers Chadwick, the friendly elf whom he once met. Chadwick wears very colorful Aussie clothes, and with his round and cheery yellow face and protruding pointy ears, Chadwick makes for an unforgettable sight! In fact, Chadwick is Jake's Secret. When Jake first made friends with Chadwick, he was teased by the other kids, so he ignored the elf and forgot all about him. But now that Jake is all alone, Chadwick reappears and explains that they can communicate with their thoughts. He reminds Jake of the magic purple powder that Jake was given by a strange woman down the street. When he takes a spoonful of the powder, Jake shrinks to the size of Chadwick. Jake, along with his unlikely group of friends - including his best friend, Sam, as well as the annoying girl down the street, a bully and the class nerd - all take the powder and go off on adventures with the elf. Meanwhile, the kids discover that the powder has some strange side effects: it gives you super powers! This wonderful children's book takes Jake and his friends on extraordinary adventures. But you mustn't tell anyone Jake's Secret! Author Bio: Glynis Bloomfield comes from Victoria, Australia, and is currently an elementary school teacher in Kuwait.
