Early Readers are stepping stones from picture books to reading books.

A blue Early Reader is perfect for sharing and reading together.

A red Early Reader is the next step on your reading journey. There are lots of things Algy doesn't like - top of the list is his own name.

Algernon is just weird. Pugh sounds a bit like - well, never mind. Other things on his list include: Girls, the Dark, and Having Adventures.

So imagine Algy's surprise when he finds a jungle at the bottom of the garden of his new house! And imagine his irritation when his annoying next door neighbour, Cherry - yes, a GIRL - wants to come and explore it with him.

She'll only giggle and whisper if he doesn't go with her.

But will they ever make it home again?
