Highlights is a new series of original works of fiction aimed at students aged 10-15 years who are reading below level. The stories were specifically written for this audience with each author writing three stories to create a mini-series, thus encouraging the reader to want to read more. Each mini-series is in the same genre. Highlights Set 1 covers three different genres - Adventure, Mystery, and Fantasy - helping readers to learn the language conventions associated with the genre.
Each book is supported by full-colour 'manga style' illustrations to reinforce and supplement the text. Every right-hand page is an illustration designed to accompany the text and assist in comprehension. The stories are dynamic and use a variety of dramatic devices including changes of perspective and variations of cell size and shape.
