Candy Crisis

When Adventure Park's new ride goes wrong, Emily, Jacob and Frank find themselves in a land where candy grows on trees! But things aren't as sweet as they first appear. Will their love of candy land them in danger? This series of eight books follows the antics of Emily, Jacob and Frank the hamster as they traverse the perils and wonders of Emily's eccentric grandfather's magical - if overambitious - theme park. Adventure Park has a reading age of just 7-8 and is designed to capture the imaginations of reluctant and struggling readers aged 9-12. The combination of simple language, short sentences and well-developed, humorous characters provide an accessible yet enjoyable reading experience for the age group, without being patronising.
