Fame Game 

We all want to be famous, don’t we? A school drama group finds out that sometimes being famous isn’t quite as good as it looks. But will it change their minds about who they want to be? 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.
