Winning or the Team?

Highlights is a series of original works of fiction aimed at students aged 10-15 years who are reading below level.

The stories are specifically written for this audience, with each author writing three stories to create a mini-series, thus encouraging the reader to want to read more. Each mini-series is in the same genre. Highlights covers different genres, helping readers to learn the language associated with the genre.

Each book is supported by full-colour ‘manga style’ illustrations to reinforce and supplement the text. Every right-hand page is a full-colour illustration to accompany the text and assist comprehension. The stories are dynamic and use a variety of dramatic devices, including changes of perspective and variations of cell size and shape.
John is confined to a wheelchair, but this does not stop him coaching and playing his beloved game of basketball. He is a star on the local wheelchair basketball team. Can John put the team’s needs above his own? And will he win his biggest challenge…to walk again? Ages 10-15.
