Build your child’s reading confidence at home with books at the right level

A wonderful retelling of Oscar Wilde’s classic story about a fierce, angry giant, who wants nothing to do with the children who play in his beautiful garden. But when he finds himself miserable and alone in an eternal winter-land, it’s an act of kindness to an unlikely friend that brings back Spring and finally, happiness.

Copper/Band 12 books provide more complex plots and longer chapters that develop reading stamina.

Tanya Landman is renowned for her thought-provoking, prize-winning novels including the beautifully “deft and dark”, Carnegie Medal-winning Buffalo Soldier. In 2019 she won the Scottish Teenage Book Prize for her critically acclaimed novella One Shot. Tanya says that she loves how writing allows her to daydream – something she was always in trouble for at school!
