On Tyler’s 13th birthday she is given a strange note, written by her long-dead grandmother. Tyler learns from it that she has a special, secret destiny, and that she alone can save the world from terrible danger. Badger’s Full Flight Girl Power is a series of 10 girl-centred stories aimed specifically at a female audience. They are reluctant readers with a reading age of 7.5-8.5 but include characters and storylines that would appeal to an interest age of 8-14. The female protagonists are relatable and the stories are varied and thoughtful, including issues surrounding friends, family and bullying, with narratives about snowboarding, judo, fashion, dance, rock climbing, mysteries and supernatural peril.
