Fourteen-year-old Mark Jackson has broken his leg - but that's the least of his worries. Lying in a hospital bed, waiting for an operation on his shattered bone, he begins to realise that several of his fellow patients have not returned from their own trips to surgery. Patients with no one to visit them in the evenings, or miss them should they vanish without a trace. Patients just like Mark, in fact...
Teen Reads are visually appealing and age-appropriate for struggling teenage readers, helping to develop confidence and foster an interest in reading, whilst bridging the gap between more specialised books and full-length novels. The complete collection of 46 books has characters diverse in gender, sexuality, ethnicity and background to ensure they are relatable to a wide range of readers. Themes vary from horror and the supernatural to sci-fi, crime, adventure, family breakdown, relationships and moral conflicts. These books are accessible and appealing in equal measure, and have content to suit many different tastes.
This hi-lo series for struggling and reluctant readers has been written for children aged between 12 and 15 years, whose current reading age is between 8 and 9 years. These age-appropriate short reads range from 42 to 58 pages and are written by accomplished authors writing stories with relatable characters. They incorporate a large font size and text separated into bite-sized chunks, along with carefully considered letter and paragraph spacing that can reduce visual stress. The series has plenty of practice at one level, allowing consolidation of learning before moving on to more challenging reads.
