Monster Mayhem 

Ghosts and monsters have been spotted all over Adventure Park. Can Emily, Jacob and Frank solve the mystery of the ghost train? Or will they end up as monster’s spooky snack? 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.
