“Keep on the track and stay together!” When Mark and Pete go climbing alone, they are given strict instructions. They break the first one and make a strange discovery. When the boys split up, however, they discover the true terrors of climbing.

This hi-lo series for struggling and reluctant readers has been written for children aged between 8 and 14 years, whose current reading age is 7.5 to 8.5 years. These age-appropriate short reads have 32 pages and are written by brilliant authors writing stories with relatable characters.  They use a large font size, and the language and sentence structure are intentionally written so that students who are reading behind their chronological age can succeed in reading them. The series has plenty of practice at one level, allowing consolidation of learning before moving on to more challenging reads.
