Reluctant Readers

Old Man Sexton of the Grange is said to have killed his maid but Jane was never found. When Debbie's father begins to renovate the house, Debbie is terrified by sightings of Jane, her father's change of character and the inescapable feeling of cold in the house. This book is suitable for reluctant readers of 12-16 with a reading age of eight years. It is printed on cream paper, which is proven to be more restful on the eye. The font is specially designed to encourage a smooth and easy read. There are frequent page breaks, short, headed chapters and illustrations on almost every page. A wide range of specialists, including children themselves, have read and commented on the book prior to publication.
