Cosmic Chaos 

Adventure Park opens its very own out-of-this-world ride! Emily, Jacob and Frank travel a crazy cosmic escalator into space. But what will they do when they encounter scary aliens who want to eat them alive? This series of eight books follows the antics of Emily, Jacob and Frank the hamster as they traverse the perils and wonders of Emily’s eccentric grandfather’s magical – if overambitious – theme park. Adventure Park has a reading age of just 7-8 and is designed to capture the imaginations of reluctant and struggling readers aged 9-12. The combination of simple language, short sentences and well-developed, humorous characters provide an accessible yet enjoyable reading experience for the age group, without being patronising.
