The Squid

Kyle has found a way to escape Monster Island. He's built a raft and wants to sail away. But something is waiting for him in the depths of the sea... Who will find a way off the island? Do your students dare step foot on Monster Island? Filled with mythical beasts, treacherous terrain and a castaway captain who may have eaten one too many coconuts - who will manage to escape and who will be marooned forever? Monster Island is a new adventure series for reluctant and struggling readers aged 12+ with a much lower reading age of 6-7. All six titles have been written by Tim Collins, an expert in writing exciting stories for struggling readers, and this series is no exception. All the swashbuckling action is skilfully contained within a mere 300-500 words per book and is spread amongst amazing and imaginative illustrations; a winning combination to make reading an inviting experience rather than a daunting one. These engaging stories will also make brilliant quick reads for more able readers.
