Accelerated Reader

A series of super-visual books on a range of ‘wow factor’ topics – such as how to be a pop star, great journeys throughout history and comets.

Combining lively, magazine-like layouts, striking images and quick bursts of information, these books are ideal for kids with low reading stamina/short attention spans.

And with each title starting with a non-fiction section then ending in a short fiction story (there’s a ‘speech bubble’ version of the story in addition to a fuller text), they’re also great for sneaking fiction to kids who’re currently only interested in non-fiction.

(For similar fact-and-fiction books, but at an even lower level, check out our Thunderbolts series.)
