Synopsis: |
Tattoos, body piercing, jewellery and face painting. People have been decorating their bodies for thousands of years. Who thought that flat heads were the latest in fashion? Who had a 4,000 year-old tattoo? Now you can find out. Get the facts.Then read 'Death by Arsenic', a story about what happens when you start to believe the adverts. This fantastic book with a fun, exciting combination of fiction and non-fiction allows readers to engage with the subject matter in the non-fiction section through the fantastically illustrated fiction story told to relate to it. A part of the Trailblazers series, this book is brilliant for keeping reluctant readers interested with a bite-size reading opportunity.The fiction story appears in two formats - one with simple texts for poor readers; the facing pages contain an illustrated "speech bubble" version of the same story, for those who are just starting to learn to read. These two levels of entry give access points for children and young adults with different reading ages. It is ideal for older children and young adults with a reading age of 5 - 8. The books are suitable for general reading or as part of a more structured reading programme. |
