Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe:

Ellie does her best to look after her mum who has ME. She tries to stay cheerful. But sometimes she needs a friend to pour out her troubles to. She turns to Janine, an online friend who understands what Ellie is going through. They've never met, so when Ellie gets the chance to visit Janine, she can't wait. But Janine has a secret - a very dark secret.

Between the Lines perfectly combines visual appeal with carefully chosen content that is both compelling and relevant for teenagers and young adults. The stories feature mature and serious themes, touching on abandonment, addiction, grief, love, war and dystopian futures. With a realistic word count of 5000-6000, imaginative storylines and line spacing to create bite-sized chunks of text, these books are ideal for struggling readers or more able readers who enjoy a quick read.

This hi-lo series for struggling and reluctant readers has been written for children aged between 12 and 15 years, whose current reading age is between 8 and 9 years. These age-appropriate short reads range from 44 to 54 pages and are written by talented authors writing stories with relatable characters. They incorporate a large font size and text separated into bite-sized chunks, along with carefully considered letter and paragraph spacing that can reduce visual stress. The series has plenty of practice at one level, allowing consolidation of learning before moving on to more challenging reads.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor:

Ann Evans has penned many titles for Badger Learning over the years, including A Little Secret from their Papercuts I series, which has been shortlisted for and won awards in 2019. She has written The Prize from Big Top of Horrors, Promise Me and Message Alert from Between The Lines and Runaway from Badger Learning's popular series, YA Reads II. As a particular lover of mystery and suspense, especially when there's a ghostly or supernatural element, Ann loves to write for children, young adults and adults, and has around 20 books to her name. She also writes magazine articles on all kinds of topics, from animals to toy collectors. Ann loves to help children and adults develop their writing skills by running creative writing courses and regularly visiting schools to hold workshops and give talks about books and writing. Her home is in Coventry in the West Midlands and she's a mum of three grown-up children. She shares her home with Georgie - a crazy cockatiel who loves walking up and down her computer keyboard when she's trying to write.
