Book for children who struggle with reading

Children who struggle with their reading will soon benefit by a new book for them.

 

Author GP Taylor’s new book has been designed specifically for children who find reading difficult.

 

The Doppelganger Chronicles – The First Escape, combines text with full-page illustrations, word art, graphics and manga comic strip to tell its story.

 

Taylor found fame with his international best seller, Shadowmancer that is set to become a Hollywood film.


 Assistant Principal at Ninestiles Technology College, Claire Williams said: “We have been extremely fortunate to trial The Doppelganger Chronicles – The First Escape at our school.  The children have been so excited by the book. We have set aside 25 minutes every day to read it and that is not enough, as we have children begging to take it home. We even have a waiting list of children who want to read the book. It’s not often that reading can cause such a buzz.”
