Boffin Boy

This is a series of 12 books designed for struggling readers aged 8 to 14. Drawing on Manga styles, the "Boffin Boy" books all feature Rick Storm, an extremely clever 14 year old who is only interested in science. When his father is killed, he vows to use his scientific skills to fight evil - as Boffin Boy! The use of speech bubbles and a simplified Manga style ensure that while the books have simple language and low word counts, they are ideal for older readers. The first books in the series have a reading age of 6-7 and the second six have a higher reading age of 8-9.
