This work features manga-styled graphic and illustrated novels with exciting sci-fi plots to engage even the most reluctant readers. Each of the three series is split across four ability levels and follows a different group of characters as they explore outer space. The teachers' resource book provides guided reading notes and activities on each book and the accompanying CD-ROM provides templates and artwork for writing a new graphic novel together with short one-off writing activities. Special features include: sophisticated, cool characters; high action plots engage even the most reluctant readers; mixture of boys and girls as the main protagonists; and, character profiles and glossaries. What is on the CD-ROM: short writing tasks; everything you need to write your own graphic novel: character cards; clipart and artwork from the graphic novels; and, graphic novel frame. Gold Team Junior has made the Interstellar 3D Championships. But if no one can fix their broken-down starship, they won't be playing any time soon. Or ever.
