Written for pupils aged 10-14, who have a reading age of 7-8, each book offers a satisfying and worthwhile read, with fast-moving narratives, specially-designed text and thought-provoking themes.
Matt Merton in 100 Words competition
We've been overwhelmed with the positive reaction to Matt Merton - lots of readers asking for the new titles in the series. We'll work on that, but in the interim we thought that there must be lots of great ideas bubbling around with readers.
So, we decided to create a competition for the best Matt Merton story written in 100 words. We received a lot of great entries but the winning story is by Peter Mitchell who attends Abbey Hill School and Technology College in Stockton-on-Tees.
