What are you frightened of? Spiders? Snakes? Or just ghosts and monsters? How about the skull that lay in its grave - and screamed. Scary enough for you? Can fear ever be a good thing? Which creatures do you never want to meet? It's all in here. Get the facts.Then read 'Just My Imagination?' - poems about dreams that are real and horror you cannot describe.Fear is part of the Trailblazers series, published by Ransom Publishing, a specialist in books for struggling and reluctant readers. Each book in the series has a non fiction and a fiction section. The fiction story is told in two formats - one with simple text, the other with 'speech bubble' illustrations. These two levels of entry offer the complete story at different reading levels, and the vocabulary of each book is carefully limited, with simple sentences to reinforce reading skills.

Each book is on a strong, popular topic, with a colourful, attractive layout, combining fact and fiction. Fear is ideal for children aged 8 - 14 with a reading age of 6 - 7.
