Breaking the Rules

Description

Mo hates her new school and her new town. She has no friends and her home life is awful. But she's made a friend online and he cares. So when he wants to meet up, she agrees. Nothing bad can come from meeting up with a friend, right? Breaking the Rules is a powerful tale of unhappiness, of the dangers of social media and of real friendship. Bloomsbury High Low books encourage and support reading practice by providing gripping, age-appropriate stories for struggling and reluctant readers, those with dyslexia, or those with English as an additional language. Printed on tinted paper with a dyslexia friendly font, Breaking the Rules is aimed at readers aged 11+ and has a manageable length (80 pages) and reading age (9+). Produced in association with reading experts at Catch Up, a charity which aims to address underachievement caused by literacy and numeracy difficulties.

Maxine Linnell is a trained psychotherapist and has written poetry, plays, short stories and novels. She loves gardens and gardening, walking and singing.

Highlighting the dangers of social media very effectively, this book is recommended for all those at risk - and that's a huge proportion of the teen population. An effective way of getting the message across and showing the benefits of real friendship. * Parents in Touch *
