Product reviews for The College Collection Set 1 – for reluctant readers

The College Collection is a smartly simple, accessible series of stories about a group of teenagers about to start a BTECH course at college. The characters each introduce themselves in their own short book and reveal their personalities, their family backgrounds and the individual challenges they all encounter. These are real kids with real problems; divorced parents, dyslexia, bullying, being a different size and shape to others, and even coping with the downside of having a famous dad. The tone of the books is perky and conversational, and the short chapters and clear font make them very readable especially for those struggling or reluctant readers. Humorous and perceptive, these books have a refreshing take on teenage life, seen from the perspective of each individual character.
