Dark Man Complete Pack

“I have tried [the Dark Man books] with a mixture of lower secondary-aged pupils with varying degrees of literacy difficulties and all thoroughly enjoyed both the stories and the activities from the workbooks...I can only recommend that you try these very innovate books for yourself.” – Kate Brown, Secondary SENCO

 

“They weren’t boring like most school books. The illustrations were brilliant. They were very grown up. The length of the book was good because too much writing puts me off...The book did not insult my intelligence.” Sam, year 8, who has dyslexia

 

“It takes a special kind of book to genuinely capture and hold the attention of those who, for whatever reason, are reluctant to read. The stories that make up the Dark Man series fit the bill perfectly.” – Mark Billingham, best-selling author of Sleepyhead, Scaredy Cat, The Burning Girl, Lazybones and Lifeless.

 

“Perfectly pitched at reluctant teens and young adults, these short, clever stories also feature memorable artwork and clear layout. Those with a low reading age will want to spend time with the mysterious Dark Man and follow his ongoing adventures. More power to him!” – Ian Rankin, author of the Rebus series

 

“I work with a 16 year old boy with very complex difficulties...Today we had a go at reading ‘The Dark Fire of Doom’ from the Dark Man series...He read the entire book completely independently and understood it! This is the first time that has ever happened! Huge thanks for helping to brighten my day!” – Anna-Marie, Specialist Teacher

 

“This is a simple but effective book” – Pupil at St Thomas of Aquin’s High in Teen Titles

 

“I could really imagine myself being the Dark Man. I thought the words matched the dark and brooding illustrations well and helped to involve the reader in the story.” – Pupil at Royal High in Teen Titles
