Reviews

The Graffix readers are engaging, short, comic style stories thoughtfully structured to support struggling readers and help build their confidence. A walkthrough section at the beginning provides context that can help readers feel familiar with and therefore more prepared to approach the main text, while the quiz-like questions at the end offer a fun way to check understanding and develop inference-making skills. The brief, accessible blocks of text combined with fantastic, clear illustrations ensure an appealing read and although told simply, the stories are diverse and interesting. We particularly love the Helix series that features superhero teenagers battling evil Chayos robots, the cliffhangers at the end of each volume had us quickly moving onto the next! -- The Learning Hub, Institute of Education, University of Reading

Author Bio

Alan is a freelance artist who started out as a storyboard artist for a London agency, before going back to his roots in the North East to pursue a career in graphic design. As much as he loved working in design for large blue chip clients, Alan's love has always been illustration. With a keen interest in the comic book world, he is usually at home working on bold graphic pieces and strip work. Working from an attic studio along with his trusty side kick, Ollie the miniature schnauzer (miniature in size, giant in personality and appetite), and his two sons Wilf and Teddy.
