Fly High Crew: The Green Glow by Ashley Banjo (author) and Jordan Banjo (author)

Our April 2021 Ages 9-10 Book of the Month

For children aged 9 and over, my Book of the Month pick has to be Fly High Crew: The Green Glow!

This is the debut book from TV personalities and Diversity street dance superstar brothers Ashley and Jordan Banjo, written in collaboration with Alexandra Sheppard. It tells the story of brothers Trey and Jax, who spend after-school rehearsing with their street dance collective the Fly High Crew. Suddenly one evening they see a green beam of light flash out of the sky – aliens have landed and are mind-controlling all the teachers and adults! Can the Fly High Crew work together as a team and save the day?

The readers are thrown into this action packed, out-of-this-world adventure from the very first page. It’s laugh-out-loud, high-energy, but at the same time a heart-warming story of a brave group of friends who must work together as a team.

The story will hook boys and girls alike, especially fans of Alesha Dixon, Tom Fletcher and Roman Kemp & Vick Hope. It’s also full of fantastic art by Dionna Gary Bunn to really immerse even non-traditional readers in the world of Fly High Crew! The inspirational and life like relatable characters will also engage all readers.
