Don't Try This at Home — David Orme

Fantastic Feats looks at great things never to try at home. Could you: Climb Mount Everest? Walk through fire? Eat 8 kilos of cow's brains in fifteen minutes? Fly a toilet? Eat an entire airplane? Thought not. But find out about those who can. The fiction story 'Feat of Endurance' shows how tough it gets when reality TV goes mad.

The Trailblazers series has been written for older children and young adults with a reading age of 5-8. The books are suitable for general reading or as part of a more structured reading program. Each book is on a strong, popular topic, with a colorful, attractive layout.

Each book has a non-fiction and a fiction section. The fiction story appears in two formats - one with simple texts for poor readers; the facing pages contain an illustrated "speech bubble" version of the same story, for those who are just starting to learn to read. These two levels of entry give access points for children and young adults with different reading ages. The vocabulary of each book is carefully limited, with simple sentences to reinforce reading skills, which make the books suitable for even the poorest readers.
