The Uniform by Tommy Donbavand (author)

Matthew’s not doing well at his new school. His mum can’t afford the uniform, and he’s scorned by bullies and teachers alike. So when he gets hold of a second-hand one, things seem to be looking up. But when he wears it, something changes – he’s more confident, harder. Soon even his mates are scared of him. Is it something to do with his new uniform? A gripping horror story from the award-winning Barrington Stoke series, specially written to give extra support to dyslexic and reluctant readers.
