Sparklers are high interest, well-written and often quirky stories of real people in unusual situations. The response to Sparklers is always good and it’s because of the stories - the characters feel real and that’s an important part of their appeal. Kids relate to them, enjoy the stories and then want to read more. Simple!

This catalogue has been printed by an environmentally responsible printer (ISO 14001 & ISO 9001 accredited); on an ecologically rated printing press using 100% vegetable based inks. This paper is FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified.
