Monster Cards 

Out on a camping trip, the boys stay up to play with their new Monster Cards. The cards seem unusual, and in a panic the boys throw them away. But no one imagines the terrible thing that happens next… This is an incredibly accessible series for reluctant readers — pitched at a low reading age of between 6 and 7. The First Flight collection offers a variety of different text types including fiction, non-fiction, plays and poetry, so is well placed to cater for many interests and abilities to absorb text. Stories range from shipwrecks, surfing and ghosts to monsters, robots and aliens on earth, plus non-fiction topics include rollercoasters, animals and the biggest lies ever.
