Skateboard Power 

Nick Jones was all set to win the skateboard competition. That is, until bully Dan Abbot stepped in and dashed his chances. With no board, Nick has no hope. And time is running out… This hi-lo series contains intriguing and stimulating content for reluctant readers aged 12-14 with a lower reading age of 7.5-8. Aptly named Dark Flight, this set of ten short novels contain such chilling topics as soul-sucking monsters, a deadly burger bar, a girl with a stone cold stare, a ghost spaceship and a terrifying game that feels all too real. We hope that the gripping nature of these stories will allow readers – however reluctant – to achieve that sense of satisfaction and confidence that comes from finishing a book.
