SOS Superstar

When Benny Banana Peel is invited to a superstar singing weekend with Madam Melody, he thinks he is dreaming. But when the other students choose to learn opera singing, Benny is faced with a big decision. Will he follow his heart or follow the crowd?

Welcome to the School of Scallywags, a boarding school for young pirates. At SOS, students live at school during the term and go home for the holidays. Each night is one big sleepover with their friends! Each new day is an adventure waiting to happen.

The students at SOS don't always get things right. But with a little encouragement from their friends and teachers, they learn that even the biggest disasters can be turned around.

Each story in the SOS series focuses on a different student and explores the personal and social challenges they face. Themes for Superstar include expressing cultural uniqueness through performance and following your heart.

SOS stories are designed for developing readers in lower to middle primary school. Books in the series include both male and female protagonists. Each book has seven or eight short chapters with illustrations on every page. Readers can move up to the award-winning Scallywags series which feature the same characters in extended adventures.
