Synopsis

There's something weird about the waxwork museum Maya visits with her class. The dummies have creepy, twisted faces, and the old man who runs it is very strange. Maya tries to find out more about the old man, and makes a horrific discovery that leads her back to the museum after dark. She's soon going to wish she'd never stepped into the House of Wax.

Papercuts is an eerie and haunting series written to appeal to students aged 13+ who find full-length novels overwhelming. All titles have an accessible word count of 5000-6000. Written by respected and accomplished authors, they are packed with horror and elements of the supernatural. But be warned, they're not for the faint-hearted!

This hi-lo series for struggling and reluctant readers has been written for children aged 13+, whose current reading age is between 8 and 9 years. These age-appropriate short reads range from 51 to 57 pages and are written by accomplished authors. 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.
