Publisher's Synopsis
Learning comes to life with MC Comics. This skills-based comic book series helps students -- especially ESL, below-level, and reluctant readers -- boost reading and writing skills, build vocabulary, and best of all, think of reading as an adventure. The six sets, each containing four parts, are packed with adventure plots told in comic-book format, real-life dialogue, colorful pictures and dynamic, recurring, multi-cultural characters who seem to leap right off the page. A different, suspenseful cliff hanger at the end of Parts 1, 2, and 3 of each set motivates students to read on. The first book in each set provides an at-a-glance summary of how to read a comic to promote a successful learning experience.Watch out! Park City's Recreational Center is going to be destroyed by the evil Sharon Savage! And the main characters of MC Comics -- Darryl, Chris, Twig, and Jazz -- are here to save the day. Working with a special camera given to them by a mysterious woman, they realize they can take pictures of the future that only kids can see. Now they can stop disaster -- before it strikes!
