Foley Crow - Friend or Foe? - by Norma Charles Paperback

Book Synopsis

Can you spot a trickster? What if it is a friend? Our friends are important people in our lives. We laugh with them and we help each other when things are not so good. Some people who mean us harm start by pretending to be friends and then lead us into danger. Is Foley Crow a friend or foe?

Safeguarding young people is on everybody's mind in school as we remain vigilant regarding KCSE (Keeping Children Safe in Education). This engaging and charming fiction tackles the difficult issue of grooming in a way that empowers children to define it and report it without scaring them or making children afraid to make friends.
