Ransom Publishing is an independent specialist publisher of high quality, inspirational books that will encourage and help both children and young adults to develop their reading skills. Many of Ransom's books are specifically written and designed for struggling and reluctant readers, but we also recognise the growing need for books aimed at young emergent readers. We are proud to be the first publisher to produce easily accessible, high-interest books which have a very low reading level and are genuinely suitable for older teenagers and adults. Our first series of books in this range, Dark Man, won the Educational Resources Book Award in 2006.
