FRANK COTTRELL BOYCE 

Cosmic 

Liam Digby is tall. Very tall. Unusually tall for a twelveyear-old 

boy. Everyone thinks Liam’s too big to be a little 

boy any more, but he’s not old enough to be a grown-up 

either. When he enters a Greatest Dad Ever contest to 

win himself and his friend, Florida, a trip of a lifetime 

to Infinity Park in China, he doesn’t expect to win. 

But he is soon to discover that being a dad is hard 

work …especially when you’re piloting a rocket at the 

same time! 

@ 

From the award-winning author of 

Millions and Framed 

What’s the hook? 

This new novel from Carnegie Medal winner Frank Cottrell 

Boyce is a heart-warming and hilarious exploration of a 

son’s relationship with his father set against a compelling 

plot that is quite literally out of this world! 

What are the themes? 

Family, friendship, relationships, growing-up, 

discrimination and prejudice could all be explored. 

Teaching points 

The first person narrative and fast paced dialogue provide 

an ideal model for pupils’ own writing, as well as fantastic 

opportunities to explore the writer’s use of humour and 

narrative voice. 

“ This book is great, it’s funny and engaging 

and in the end rather moving. ”

JIMMY DOCHERTY 

The Ice Cream Con 

‘What is it now? Are they shooting at us?’ 

‘We’re all out of vanilla, and the mint choc-chip is 

desperately low.’ 

When Jake is mugged for the second time in ten minutes, 

he resolves to have his revenge and comes up with a plan 

to con the criminals on his estate. With the help of his 

friends, Jake spreads rumours of a new tough guy in 

town, The Big Baresi, but the con soon spirals out of 

control. Jake and his friends are in big trouble, with a 

freezer full of diamonds that every tough guy wants a 

scoop of and a desperate shortage of mint choc-chip. 


Jimmy Docherty has produced a rare treat in this novel 

with its blend of laugh out loud humour, edge of your 

seat tension and an uplifting story at its heart. 


Friendship, revenge, crime, morality, social deprivation, 

stereotypes and the media’s depiction of social groups. 


As a pastiche of gangster and crime thriller novels, 

The Ice Cream Con offers an ideal starting point for 

exploration of these genres. The smart dialogue, 

humorous and original characters and exciting action 

scenes provide great opportunities for drama work. 

“ The dryly-humorous thriller style of this 

tale kept me turning the pages ... ”

DAVID EDGAR 

Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde 

Based on Robert Louis Stevenson’s 

classic horror story, this dramatic 

adaptation shows the transformation of 

the mild-mannered Dr Jekyll into the 

fiendish Mr Hyde. When Jekyll discovers 

a drug that can transform him, he 

becomes able to unleash the dark side 

of his nature onto the streets of 

Victorian London. But he soon discovers 

the price of his double life. 


This compelling play makes Stevenson’s 

classic pre-1914 novella accessible to 

pupils, whilst remaining faithful to the 

original prose, allowing them to fully 

engage with the plot and themes. 


The struggle between good and evil, 

the conscious and unconscious, family 

relationships, Victorian society and 

morality. 


With one actor taking the roles of both 

Jekyll and Hyde, the play allows pupils 

to more easily understand that these 

characters are ‘one’ person. The play is 

suitable for use either at Key Stage 3, or 

to support the study of the novel at 

Key Stage 4.

Longman School Drama 

MARY MORRIS 

Two Weeks with the Queen 

An adaptation of Morris Gleitzman’s 

hilarious yet poignant novel. When his 

brother is suddenly taken seriously ill, 

Colin is sent from his home in Australia 

to England to stay with his Aunty Iris. 

At first, Colin is devastated, but then he 

hits on a plan: who better to help him 

find a doctor able to make his brother 

better than the Queen? 


This play version cleverly lifts the key 

moments from Gleitzman’s novel and 

presents them in a light-hearted, 

amusing and open way, making an ideal 

drama text for Key Stage 3. 


Family, responsibility, relationships, 

death, grief, growing-up, injustice 

and prejudice. 


An ideal opportunity to look at a 

popular text in different forms, helping 

pupils to appreciate the similarities and 

differences between plays and novels. 

The play also offers a wide range of 

opportunities to focus on pertinent 

contemporary issues that are presented 

in an accessible way. 

CHARLES WAY 

The Search for Odysseus 

Based on Homer’s epic poem, 

The Odyssey, this play centres on the 

hero’s son, Telemachus, and his quest to 

find his lost father. Telemachus was only 

a year old when Odysseus left to fight in 

the Trojan wars, leaving his wife, 

Penelope, behind. Years later, the war is 

over and Telemachus and Penelope 

expect Odysseus to return. When he 

does not, Penelope’s suitor, Eurymachus, 

determines to take Odysseus’s place. To 

stop him, Telemachus must find his 

father and bring him home. 


A modern reworking of The Odyssey 

that will engage pupils through its 

appealing teenage protagonists and 

timeless story. 


Families, relationships, growing-up, 

myths and legends. 


The play provides an accessible 

stimulus for work on myths and 

legends. Vivid characters, that pupils will 

be able to relate to, and a compelling 

plot can lead to exciting oral and 

written work.

NC 

author 

Mark wants to be a ‘legendary 

footballing poet’, but holding on to the 

twin dreams of playing for Aston Villa 

and writing poetry isn’t easy in his 

house. Mark’s father is a preacher, but a 

violent man, who beats his wife and 

shows little affection for his children. 

For Mark, fulfilling his goals involves a 

conflict between following his own 

ambitions and escaping his family. 


A moving portrayal of teenage life and 

ambition set against a background of 

adversity. Zephaniah’s poetry suffuses 

the play with rhythm and flavour. 


Ambition, hope, friendship, family, 

poverty, desperation, violence, religion, 

racism and oppression, with strong links 

to Citizenship and PSHE. 


With characters and themes that will 

engage all pupils, including reluctant 

readers and boys, this play by a popular 

author presents the opportunity to 

explore a range of dramatic techniques 

and emotive contemporary issues.
