Dark Man Set 4

Dark Man is a hugely successful series for teens and young adults with very low reading levels. The gritty and mysterious books grip readers even though the text is limited. The sinister atmosphere and strong black-and-white illustrations entice even the most reluctant of teen readers. The dark tales have a 'grown-up' style which doesn't patronise the reader. Each of the six books is short, but mature, with only 36 pages and word count of 1000 words.

Set Four provides a higher level of readers. The 6 books can be read in any order and can be used just as great age appropriate reads for those new to the Dark Man or as progression from Sets One, Two. and Three.

This pack contains the forth six books in the series.
