Packing a story into 600 words might seem like a challenge for some, but certainly not for award-winning author Tony Lee! Tackling the ever prevalent subject of bullying in school, intertwined with elements of Robert Louis Stevenson's 1886 novella, Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, this Dark Read is a real treat for teens.

By creating situations that teenagers can relate to and mixing them with a cool injection of fictional horror with unexpected twists, Tony has created the perfect recipe to keep reluctant readers interested right up until the last page has been turned. Powerful green, black and white illustrations also accompany the simple text to further entice readers with a low reading age.

We're confident that struggling readers will be touched and engaged by this modern re-telling of a classic!
