They entered the main room of the shop and saw the baddy. A giant badger!<br />
Nearly as tall as a person. She was simply stood in the middle of the room. Like<br />
she was waiting for something.<br />
NEW AND IMPROVED<br />
“Finally!” The badger shouted. “I’ve been waiting for you two to get here.”<br />

Rocket grabbed the big bag of jewels from The Badger’s paws, before she even<br />
saw it coming.<br />
The Badger did not even seem to care.<br />
Before the heroes realised what was happening, The Badger had pressed a button<br />
and used a magic jetpack to fly out of the shop.<br />
She escaped…just.<br />
As her jetpack steered her out of the completely messy shop and away from our<br />
superheroes, they could just about hear her saying…”You’d better watch out you<br />
two, my boss wants to see you!”<br />
Richard Dodd<br />
Richard has been writing for<br />
as long as he can remember.<br />
English was a subject he<br />
enjoyed in school as it just<br />
made sense to him. He loved<br />
to read and requested his<br />
own bedroom so that he could<br />
have a bookcase! His favourite<br />
childhood authors included<br />
Enid Blyton, R. L. Stine, M. D.<br />
Spenser, and Charles Dickens.<br />
Characters, stories and even<br />
words he has taken in through<br />
all of those books have stayed<br />
with Richard for two decades.<br />
He firmly believes that books<br />
are integral in a person’s<br />
upbringing and that those<br />
experiences will stay with them<br />
throughout their lives.<br />
He can recall parts of those<br />
books in their entirety, from<br />
the tone of voice described by<br />
the author to certain scenes<br />
from The Famous Five or Secret<br />
Seven. Richard loves fiction<br />
and the idea of escaping and<br />
therefore creating an escape<br />
for a reader is the very reason<br />
he writes.<br />
Richard has written four books,<br />
three in the Fluffy the Magic<br />
Penguin series and a standalone<br />
book called ‘The Secret<br />
Passageway’.<br />
