Description

Mo hates her new school and her new town. She has no friends and her home life is awful. But she's made a friend online and he cares. So when he wants to meet up, she agrees. Nothing bad can come from meeting up with a friend, right? Breaking the Rules is a powerful tale of unhappiness, of the dangers of social media and of real friendship. Bloomsbury High Low books encourage and support reading practice by providing gripping, age-appropriate stories for struggling and reluctant readers, those with dyslexia, or those with English as an additional language. Printed on tinted paper with a dyslexia friendly font, Breaking the Rules is aimed at readers aged 11+ and has a manageable length (80 pages) and reading age (9+). Produced in association with reading experts at Catch Up, a charity which aims to address underachievement caused by literacy and numeracy difficulties.

Reviews

Highlighting the dangers of social media very effectively, this book is recommended for all those at risk - and that's a huge proportion of the teen population. An effective way of getting the message across and showing the benefits of real friendship. * Parents in Touch *
