The end

Matt Merton is at the centre of this dark, moody science fiction story. Earth has been hit by an alien invasion, and Matt sets out to stop the planet from being wiped out. The book is part of a wider range of gripping sci-fi titles designed for older readers who are still building their confidence with text.

Each story moves quickly and is written with carefully chosen language, so the page stays accessible. Beneath the action, the books raise questions that linger after the last page, giving readers plenty to think about.

The series suits readers aged 10 to 14 whose reading level is around that of a seven or eight year old, offering them a full sci-fi adventure without the barrier of dense prose.
