Danger in the Dark 

The Dark Man must take the girl to safety. Her magic power is sought by the Shadow Masters, who have put demons on the streets. Demons who look like men. This book is part of the Dark Man Series, a range of books for emergent teen and adult readers. With only a limited vocabulary, these gritty and mysterious books pull readers into the tense storyline. The sinister atmosphere and strong black-and-white illustrations ensure that the book appeals to older readers and isn’t patronising. This is one of the shorter stories in the Dark Man series focusing on the top 100 high frequency words.
