An uplifting story about the power of imagination, with full colour illustrations on every page
Young readers aged 5+ will be delighted by Rocket Boy by Katie Jennings. Plus they'll have fun with the accompanying activity pack which we created for Parrot Street Book Club subscribers in September 2025.
“Rocket Boy by Katie Jennings is a fun, charming, and beautifully illustrated early chapter book that celebrates the power of imagination. Perfect for newly independent readers and those transitioning from picture books for the first time, it’s a relatable and uplifting adventure that was an easy pick for our Parakeet boxes.”

Did you know that the sky on Mars is red? Callum Grant does - and he knows a whole lot more about the solar system too.
But he doesn't know what it would be like to see a Martian sunset with his own eyes. Until one day Callum sets off on an adventure unlike any other...
Katie Jennings has worked in children's publishing for many years, and is a Commissioning Editor. She lives in London.
The activity pack includes book club-style questions to ponder, fun facts about Mars, and a delicious recipe for fruit rockets, alongside stickers, jokes and further reading recommendations. Solve our rocket-inspired word search, design a Mars rover and make a cardboard space shuttle!
Activity packs are a handy A5 size and printed on uncoated paper which is fully recyclable.

We are a monthly book subscription by post for children aged 5 to 14, focused on helping families discover new and different chapter books.
This title was sent to subscribers in the Parakeet reading group, aged roughly 5 to 8, who are emerging or newly independent readers. Many in this group prefer to listen to the books being read aloud by an adult.
