The Adventures of Harry Alliss (and Friends)

Read about the amazing adventures of Harry Alliss. The central character is Harry, a young boy with several strong female mentors who add zest to his various adventures. Get to know Harry’s amazing friends and their magical, fantastical and sometimes dramatic adventures together, but always with a connection towards strong family relationships, values and those special bonds of friendship. Harry may be flying in space or sitting in a doctor’s waiting room but the adventures just keep happening to him.

Learn about amazing things that you may have never heard of but that existed at some time. Unravel some of the words in the book to make the stories even more fun. Share Harry’s journey and enjoy the fabulous and exciting world of Harry Alliss. The basis for the stories is as a bedtime read, although it shouldn’t be restricted to only bedtime reading as they can be read at any time.

The stories are sequential, so they should be read from the beginning to the end as several characters are introduced during the various adventures. The central themes are rooted in what is around us and what may have occurred or happened in the past or present, including physical items that may have existed before. The idea is to ask questions and interact with the storytelling. The stories have the ‘cuddle factor’ so that adults reading to their children can enjoy the story as much as the children who are listening to it.

Through his journey of discovery, a young man learns how to care for the environment and respect the lives of other people, even when their appearance is very different from his own.
