Publisher's Synopsis
To ensure accessibility and readability, Hodder & Stoughton have worked with The Basic Skills Agency on Livewire - a series of exciting reading material with a teenage/adult interest level for those with reading ages below 10 or for adult students learning English as a second or foreign language. Livewire offers teenagers and adults appropriate fiction and non-fiction which is graded at reading ages 6-7; 7-8; 8-9; and 9-10. Livewire books successfully engage the interest of the reader in an exciting and non-patronising way, and gradually lead him or her towards the attainment of a higher reading level. "Livewire Youth Fiction" offers exciting stories about the issues, dramas and challenges of being young.
