  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. With friends AJ and Rudy, Scott sets out to aid the inhabitants of an alternative world, Halycrus. But he mixes up the ingredients to open the portal and, wouldn't you know it, ends up in another world. Join Scott and friends as they battle to carry out their secret mission.
