Children go crazy about geckos with jet-packs in new Bat Rider book

Dec. 2, 2012 - PRLog -- 'My daughters were ecstatic about the jet-packs on the geckos and started to demonstrate,' said a reviewer in Singapore.

Anthony Barton's stories are filled with surprises, and this latest paperback from Amazon (THE BAT RIDERS OF YUMI, $9.99) brims with delightful twists and turns. Not only does the hero of the series, bat rider Matthew John, have to brave a city of ghosts, but his faithful bat Bulmer actually becomes a ghost, and Matthew John has a hard time trying to find him!

By the time the pair arrive in the Strange Loop Nebula and meet the lizard BOGO, a lizard who can scuttle from one dimension to another, it becomes clear to the reader that the story is heading for a stupendous climax, and, sure enough, the tale comes to its fiery conclusion when Matthew John dares the wrath of ia, the Great Bat of Evening, and sounds the magical horn of Anoura to bring the Wild Ride!
