The Authors

• Bestselling names that readers will recognise.
• A perfect stepping stone to other books from the same authors.
Barrington Stoke books are hi lo (high interest, low abilty), meaning the content is appropriate to the age of the reader but the text is edited to suit a lower reading age.Our reading ages (RAs) range from 6 to 8+ and our interest ages (IAs) from 3+ to Teen. When you view any title on our website you will find the RA and IA listed. If you don’t know your child’s reading age, ask them to look at the samples and cover any words they can’t read with a finger. If they cover more than five words per page, assume it is too difficult for them right now.
