About the Hey Jack! Series

Reading age: 5+ years

Hey Jack! is a series of illustrated chapter books for emerging and reluctant readers. Jack is a friendly, everyday kid who loves playing soccer and always tries to be brave. Each down-to-earth story in the series follows Jack on a new adventure that kids will love and relate to.

Each book is carefully designed with word art and illustrations, and there are no mountains of text or super-tricky words to intimidate the early reader. So join the fun and read along!

Jack is best friends with Billie from the Billie B Brown series and, like his best friend, Jack is the perfect antidote for readers who feel they can't relate to super heroes or sporting stars.

While Billie likes to dress-up, climb trees and kick a soccer ball around, Jack is quieter and less impulsive. He might be shy, but he shines in his school musical, builds excellent Lego castles and even makes his own robot costumes out of cardboard boxes. Both the Billie B Brown series and Hey Jack! are perfect for young boys or girls who want to read about life-like characters to whom they can relate.
