Synopsis

Sara has to move to a refuge after her dad hits her mum. She can't bear to talk about it, not even to her best friend, Hafsa. Hafsa wants to know why Sara is cancelling plans and ignoring messages. It's not like her to be so cold. Will Sara share her worries with Hafsa, or will the secrecy tear their friendship apart?

The Two Sides series take important themes faced by many young people in today's world such as sexual identity, domestic abuse, racism and being a young carer and bring them to life through the words of a young person struggling to come to terms with them. These innovative books are written both from the main character's point of view and someone else who has made an assumption about the situation coloured by prejudice or ignorance. Appearances can be deceiving. In a judgemental world, can you see Two Sides?

This hi-lo series for struggling and reluctant readers has been written for children aged 13+, whose current reading age is 8-9. These age-appropriate short reads range from 32 to 42 pages and are written by gifted authors writing stories with relatable characters. They incorporate a large font size and text separated into bite-sized chunks, along with carefully considered letter and paragraph spacing that can reduce visual stress. The series has plenty of practice at one level, allowing consolidation of learning before moving on to more challenging reads.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Jenni Spangler's first love was the theatre. Frustrated with the lack of juicy parts for teens, she began writing her own and never looked back. She likes to explore different genres in her writing, from funny and spooky middle grade stories, to contemporary and realistic YA fiction. Jenni has written four titles for Badger Learning: Wanted from their bone-chilling series Papercuts II, Stop and Torn from their Two Sides series, and The Cell from their Between the Lines II series.
