This six-book collection by Ali Sparkes brings together six standalone stories for young readers. The set includes Frozen in Time, Car-Jacked, Wishful Thinking, Dark Summer, Thunderstruck, and Night Speakers. Written for confident readers aged nine and up, these stories showcase a range of themes, from cryonic time-travel to a mischievous Celtic god, a terrifying cave system, a lightning-struck friendship, and a strange night-time awakening. Each title stands alone, but together they demonstrate why Ali Sparkes is a skilled storyteller for middle-grade readers. Published by Oxford University Press, this collection offers a great-value bundle of gripping and varied reading for young readers.
