A charity book written by a six-year-old

Peter and the Zombies is the first in the "Peter and Colo" series of books written by six-year-old Levi Clarke (below). Yes, you read that correctly – Levi is six (and a half). "I like making up stories," says the Dún Laoghaire author. "I get ideas really quickly."

Levi is selling his handwritten ebook on iDonate.ie to raise funds for his friend Luke Herangi. Four-year-old Luke, from Cabinteely, has a form of cerebral palsy and has been accepted for a life-changing operation in St Louis. His family are trying to raise €60,000 to get him there.

Levi's book has so far raised €800 for his friend's operation. With a magic "wiserd" and an evil monkey, the six-page novella is all Levi's own work, including the cover illustration. A second instalment, Peter and the Giants, is on the way. To get your copy, search for "Levi Clarke's Peter and Colo book" on idonate.ie.
