Joke Shop — Tim Collins

Perfect for pupils with a low reading age of 8 to 9, but a high interest age of 12 to 15, our Teen Reads will have readers on the edge of their seats. Just the right level of challenging vocabulary and plot-lines make these books highly accessible, drawing readers into exciting worlds whilst simultaneously developing their reading skills. A new joke shop has opened and everyone is bringing plastic snakes, wind-up teeth and exploding sweets into school. But Aaron doesn't find the pranks very funny. They seem to be genuinely hurting people. Quite badly. With Halloween approaching, he needs to find out what's going on before things take a darker turn.
