"The Boffin Boyz is a reading group we set up to try to encourage reluctant readers who had been identified in years 4 and 5. They immediately took to the series and were extremely enthusiastic. They were (perhaps unsurprisingly) struggling writers too and the Boffin Boyz group has helped them discover an enthusiasm for writing in the short follow-up tasks I have planned to enhance our group of reading books. Although the writing tasks are not arduous, the boys are so keen to commit their ideas to paper it is a joy to see. I believe they are less inclined to view reading with dread and their willingness to share and record their ideas is a testimony to the quality of the materials and their enthusiasm for it. This is a great step forward."

"A cleverly constructed series of short novels, ideal for the reluctant reader but no small fun for the enthusiastic one, either. There's romance and teen angst here, and the delights and agonies of friendship, but there's plenty of blood too - just as there should be."

“We have started using the Level 2 books with our 10 year old young man (who is almost a non-reader) and he really loves the books. He said he likes the way he can read them himself and they look like the books that the other children are reading (instead of the ‘infant-type’ books that he was having to read before). He absolutely loves anything to do with football and loves talking about all the photographs and illustrations in them, too.”

"The Dark Man himself is an intriguing and compelling character. The text is stylish, accessible and never patronising while the illustrations are absorbing and darkly fascinating. It takes a special kind of book to genuinely capture and hold the attention of those who, for whatever reason, are reluctant to read. The stories that make up the Dark man series fit the bill perfectly."
Mark Billingham, Author
"The Dark Man series is dark stuff indeed – gritty and full of tension and mystery. Perfectly pitched at reluctant teens and young adults, these short, clever stories also feature memorable artwork and clear layout. Those with a low reading age will want to spend time with the mysterious Dark Man and follow his ongoing adventures. More power to him!"
Ian Rankin, Author
"Really fits a gap in the market - a high interest age but low reading age book that nobody will be worried about being seen with."
