This story is part of the "Livewire" series which provides exciting reading material with a teenage/adult interest level for those with a reading age of ten or below, or for adult learners of English as a foreign language. The books aim to engage the reader in a non-patronizing way and gradually lead him or her towards the attainment of a higher reading ability. The titles are written by qualified special needs teachers and are colour-coded for the appropriate reading age.
