MC Cesar 

My best friend Julian and I were really into music. We sold CDs to our friends, and in time became real DJs. Julian changed his name to MC Cesar and hired a bodyguard. I knew he was going too far, but he thought no one could stop him. The problem was, they could. Dark Reads are very short novels of just 600 words, written specifically to appeal to struggling teenage readers with a very low reading age of 6-7. Each story has the perfect combination of accessible language and interesting, age-appropriate content.Every title has the look and feel of a real book with a contents page, information about the author and illustrator, story facts and dynamic two-tone illustrations. Dark Reads I draws on supernatural classics and famous monsters, and Dark Reads II presents a modern and relatable ‘way in’ to the plays of Shakespeare.These bite-sized books are perfect for encouraging those normally daunted by the prospect of reading.
