Move over Marvel, there's a brand new group of superheroes in town!

A story about this unlikely band of fairy tale characters featured in our popular series Once Upon Another Time..., but the potential for exciting adventures was simply too great for one book – these characters needed a whole series!

Enter The League of Enchanted Heroes:

Jack Mayer used to be an ordinary schoolboy. But when he crossed into Anotherland, he became Jack the Giant Slayer.

Now he's joined the most legendary crime-fighting team ever.

There's Hansel and Gretel with their fearsome magic powers; Rapunzel, who can battle villains with her strong, long hair; Red Riding Hood, the world's number one wolf-fighter; and Tom Thumb, the smallest, toughest, rudest hero around.

Together, they're The League of Enchanted Heroes.

The bad guys don't stand a chance.

Written by Tim Collins, this superb series is full of exciting, perilous encounters with werewolves, dragons, giants, evil magic mirrors and even the 'real world', this fantastical eight-book series is ideal for reluctant readers aged 9-12.

Each book in this series has a low word count of 750 as well as a simple sentence structure and imaginative illustrations by James Lawrence, all appropriate for a reading age as low as 6-7. The series has lots of other fun features to engage reluctant readers such as a general series introduction, vocabulary page, character introductions, story questions, a full-colour map and an author and illustrator blurb – not to mention stimulating and accessible storylines!
