  Speedy Reads is a brand new concise series published for all of us who want information fast! The books are aimed at the 8+ audience, although any of us could use them to give us the essential facts about important events. The first four titles-Moon Landing, Marie Celeste, Gold Rush and Titanic-give us all the outrageous facts behind fascinating episodes in history. The style is chatty and humorous, with text broken up into easily digestible question and answer style paragraphs. The added extra of a flicker picture in the corner of each book makes them even more entertaining and great value for money. A perfect present or an easily affordable purchase for young readers. These books could also be sold to older readers who want information put across in an accessible way.
