Product Description

 

Harry watched the ‘thing’ carefully. ‘That,’ he thought, ‘is something very, very strange … something from another world, perhaps. It’s a spaceship … or something like it. I’m going to get out and look at it.’

Harry Evans is a police officer. He is driving along a country road when he sees something. He stops. He hears strange music. Is it a UFO? No one believes Harry’s story, but after that his life is different … why?

Level 2 750 headwords

Currently comprising 16 titles across four stages – from beginner to upper intermediate – the series is carefully graded, lexically and structurally, to encourage young adults to read for pleasure and at speed. The stories are all, first and foremost, just that – stories, from ELT authors well known for their ability to craft original and engaging narratives to entertain and educate. Each reader contains striking and contemporary full-colour illustrations and photos, resource pages of well-scaffolded exercises, and an easy-to-use glossary. Titles in Levels 1 and 2 are 32 pages each, while titles in Levels 3 and 4 are 40 pages each.
