Description
Julia Green is becoming increasingly well known as someone who writes about big issues in a sensitive, intelligent way. Blue Moon and Baby Blue concern teenage pregnancy and motherhood. Her latest title, Hunter's Heart, was picked as a 'Top Title' in the Bookseller roundup of teenage reads. Part of the specially-commissioned White Wolves fiction range for 7-11 year olds, written in consultation with the Centre for Literacy in Primary Education. Each year group will have three stand-alone titles and accompanying Teachers' Guides to support guided reading lessons in the classroom. Ties in with themes demanded by the NLS for Year 4: stories which raise issues. The series is already garnering praise in the press: 'It's a pleasure to read commissioned work which fulfils its brief so imaginatively' (Books for Keeps).
