Mummies (Trailblazers)

Hairy Mole thought he was the meanest, maddest, roughest, toughest pirate that ever lived. With a black bushy beard, rotten teeth and an eye patch (which he didn't really need), Hairy Mole was nearly as scary as his pirate crew. And then one day Hairy Mole decided that enough was enough. He would follow his dreams and sail his little ship out into the seven seas in search of adventures and jam.... Come follow the adventures of Hairy Mole, who had wanted to be a pirate for as long as he could remember, and his gallant crew as they go out on their little pirate ship in search of treasure and jam. Even when Hairy Mole smells of lemons he still manages to lead his crew into great adventures, even if they do get to eat nothing but fish fingers. This is the first in a trilogy of 'Hairy Mole' books, featuring the loveable pirate and his crew. Intricate line drawings and inventive use of font and typesetting really grab the reader's attention.

Hairy Mole's Adventures on the High Seas

This is the third book featuring Hairy Mole and his bold pirate crew: Belch Pickle, the twins, Crevice and Pitt, Guff and Mr. Bogey, the first mate who has a cricket bat for a leg. This time Hairy Mole has a serious job to do. His younger cousin Furry Mole has got himself into a spot of bother, and Hairy and his crew must find a way to save Furry. So there's no time for fun and games! No time to learn the rules of cock-roach football, or to lose at poker to T-towel the cat. This is serious. It involves three time hags (eager to turn into big-time witches), secret tunnels, precious gems, kings and real pirate goings on. This is a compelling, laugh out loud story that is an essential for children familiar with the first two "Hairy Mole" books.

Manga describes the history and different styles of Manga. 'Boffin Boy vs. Mogon the Mighty' pits the boy-genius Rick Shaw against a century-old robot hell-bent on destroying humanity! Manga is part of the Trailblazers series, published by Ransom Publishing. It is ideal for older children and young adults with a reading age of 5 - 8. The books are suitable for general reading or as part of a more structured reading programme. Each book is on a strong, popular topic, with a colourful, attractive layout, combining fact and fiction. Each book has a non fiction and a fiction section. The fiction story appears in two formats - one with simple texts for poor readers; the facing pages contain an illustrated "speech bubble" version of the same story, for those who are just starting to learn to read. These two levels of entry give access points for children and young adults with different reading ages. The vocabulary of each book is carefully limited, with simple sentences to reinforce reading skills, which make the books suitable for even the poorest readers.

Nothing has ever come between the Sisters, until now that is. There's a new kid on the block, and he's a real hunk! Rachel and Donna both like him like mad, and there's no way they are going to share him. Will this dishy, new boy spell the end of Siti's Sisters? The Siti's Sisters Series are a series of multicultural fiction books designed to have particular appeal to girls. Each story has around 1200 - 1500 words and is ideal for reluctant readers. The books are designed to appeal to girls aged 10 - 14 with a reading age of 7 - 8 years. Siti has four really, really good mates: Donna, Lu, Kelly and Rachel. They have been friends forever and are so close that Siti calls them her Sisters; and that’s how they think of themselves. The books are illustrated in black-and-white throughout, and the tightly controlled vocabulary and compelling, convincing stories will stimulate reading among poorer readers.
