Matt Newnham’s Imaginative Young Hero Proves That Even the Smallest Kids Can Make Big Decisions
Matt Newnham is back with another thrilling adventure in his beloved Space Ranger Fred series: Space Ranger Fred and the Umbrella Rescue. Perfect for young readers ages 6 to 10, this heartwarming and action-packed tale celebrates friendship, bravery, and the power of doing what’s right—even if it means being late to a party.
Fred Sanders may only be six years old, but he’s no ordinary kid—he’s a Space Ranger! When a rocket lands in his garden on a wet and rainy day, Fred is invited to a princess’s birthday party on a distant planet. But during his journey, he comes across an alien who has crash-landed and needs help. Now Fred faces a big decision: should he stop to help and risk being late to the party, or keep going and ignore someone in need?
Joined once again by his comic book hero Zando Centauri, Fred embarks on an unforgettable adventure filled with excitement, rainstorms, and valuable life lessons.
“Fred’s adventures are meant to show kids that their everyday choices matter,” says author Matt Newnham. “In this book, Fred learns that kindness and courage are what truly make someone a hero—even more than space rockets or shiny badges.”
With rich imagination and a message at its core, Space Ranger Fred and the Umbrella Rescue is ideal for reading aloud or for young independent readers ready to explore the universe—one shoelace and umbrella at a time.
