Product description

Master writer Michael Morpurgo brings his sublime touch to these extra-simple novels, written for a much-praised series which supports the most struggling readers. Each book is derived from a popular Michael Morpurgo title from the existing Barrington Stoke 9-12 age range, newly adapted to suit a lower reading age of 7 years. Written with this best-loved author’s typical wisdom and humour, each lively story features dynamic illustrations and additional speech/thought bubbles to help the reader follow the text. They’re ideal for anyone who wants a cracking story with the benefit of extra help.

“My 9-year-old daughter has dyslexia and she is now reading by choice thanks to your 4u2read series… Words cannot explain what these books have meant to her.” Parent

Michael Morpurgo

Michael Morpurgo is a master storyteller, weaving captivating stories full of drama and intensity that are coming to be regarded as true classics. Exploring the most profound subjects with a light yet powerful touch, his books tell unforgettable stories in simple, direct words.

Michael Morpurgo discovered his talent for writing while working as a teacher. “We had to read the children a story every day and my lot were bored by the book I was reading. I decided I had to do something and told them the kind of story I used to tell my kids – it was like a soap opera, and they focused on it. I could see there was magic in it for them, and realised there was magic in it for me.”

Living in Devon, listening to Mozart, and working with children have provided most of the stimulae Michael needs to discover and write his stories. He spends about half his life mucking out sheds with the children, feeding sheep or milking cows; the other half he spends dreaming up and writing stories. “For me, the greater part of writing is daydreaming, dreaming the dream of my story until it hatches out – the writing down of it I always find hard. But I love finishing it, then holding the book in my hand and sharing my dream with my readers.”
