MADE's creations aren't born - they're built. Violet's family has been approved to test a teenage robot called Ollie. Robots like Ollie are programmed to act human without so many things that are necessary to being human. He has no feelings. He can't lie, disobey his family or ever harm a human being. But Ollie is a machine, and things go wrong with machines all the time... Between the Lines perfectly combines visual appeal with carefully chosen content that is both compelling and relevant for teenagers and young adults. The stories feature mature and serious themes, touching on abandonment, addiction, grief, love, war and dystopian futures. With a realistic word count of 5000-6000, imaginative storylines and line spacing to create bite-sized chunks of text, these books are ideal for struggling readers or more able readers who enjoy a quick read. This hi-lo series for struggling and reluctant readers has been written for children aged between 12 and 15 years, whose current reading age is between 8 and 9 years. These age-appropriate short reads range from 44 to 56 pages and are written by talented authors writing stories with relatable characters. They incorporate a large font size and text separated into bite-sized chunks, along with carefully considered letter and paragraph spacing that can reduce visual stress.
