Firebug - Eric Brown

Danny has moved to a new town and things are not going well. No one has taken an interest in him - he is bored and lonely and bullied by the cruel and violent Ross Davies. But then Danny discovers something new, something that makes him feel powerful. This book is suitable for reluctant readers of 13-16 with a reading age of eight years. It is printed on cream paper, which is proven to be more restful on the eye. The font is specially designed to encourage a smooth and easy read. There are frequent page breaks, short, headed chapters and illustrations on almost every page. A wide range of specialists, including children themselves, have read and commented on the book prior to publication.
