Description

'Hi! My name is Nigel Hook. I race powerboats.' Join the crew for a P1 Evolution powerboat Grand Prix. It's an 80 mile race at more than 110 miles an hour. The boat is three times more powerful than a Ferrari. Have you got what it takes? This is life at the edge.

This new edition of Powerboat Race, now introduces more difficult words and fuller sentences to make it ideal for children reading at the Purple Book Band level.

Powerboat Race is part of the 321 Go! series, a non-fiction series which cover heart-in-the-mouth, jaw-droppingly exciting experiences! Using real-life photographs and comic-format speech bubbles, the book is narrated by a powerboat racing world champion. You couldn't get closer to the action! This is the perfect read for beginning and struggling readers who want something much more visual to develop their literacy skills.

Reviews

“I find a lot of my reluctant readers struggle to stay engaged in a book where long sentences are daunting and the content does not excite them. This is where the 321 Go! series is fantastic; children are hooked in by real-life action and their attention is maintained by second to second, short and snappy accounts of dramatic sports and stunts." Lara Holden, Teacher
