Steve Sharp

Meet Steve Sharp – an ex-cop who’s been hired to find a missing girl.

It’s not long before he discovers the girl is with Big John, who’s bad news.

Can Steve bring her home?

Designed to be read in sequence, this gritty six-part story delivers the traditional ‘hard-boiled’ detective fiction of Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett in a seriously low-level package.

It also features an edgy/alternative approach to dyslexia-friendly design (white text on black).

We’ve seen it captivate even the most reluctant of teen/adult readers. Just note it does contain some ‘tough content’ – such as violence and references to drugs.

NOTE: this series contains the original editions of the Steve Sharp titles, which are all quizzed for Accelerated Reader. For our new ‘decodable editions’ (where we’ve made the necessary word changes to make the texts 100% fully decodable at Letters and Sounds Phase 5), head here.
