What people are saying about
"Reading Rocks!"
"If you want your students to connect the words 'reading' and 'fun' you must show them "Reading Rocks!". Adrian's the most innovative salesman for reading since Dr Seuss."

John Ahern. Duffy Coordinator, Avondale School
"Thanks for a fantastic professional performance. We got great feedback from both the kids and parents. I loved the way your show tied in with what we are all about at the Library."
Frances McEwen. Children's and Teens Specialist, Upper Hutt City Libraries.
"All the staff loved your show and I'm sure that on Monday the kids will still be fizzing - learning moments need to be memorable and yours certainly were. From the moment you were introduced until the final resounding applause you had EVERYONE - from 5 to 65 - captivated and hanging on your every word and gesture!. You took reading beyond the realms of reading time and comprehension questions into the real world showing us that being able to read gives us the power to learn new skills and escape to other places in the mind."
Anna Williams, Christ the King School.
