Can Ella and Josh find a way to appease Ma Jessop before anyone gets really hurt? Or is the horror only just beginning…Highly readable, exciting books that take the struggle out of reading, Wired Up encourages and supports reading practice by providing gripping, age-appropriate stories for struggling and reluctant readers, or those with English as an additional language, aged 11+, at a manageable length (80 pages) and reading level (9+).
