Formula One by Alex Raynham

Bookworms: Stage Three
"It's
an exciting life - full of fast cars, money, and travel. The names of Formula
One champions are known all over the world. And everywhere young drivers dream
of success one day in Monaco, Melbourne, Monza ... But it is a difficult life
too. Drivers need strong bodies - and minds. They need to think quickly, drive
hard, and sometimes look death in the face. This is the dangerous, exciting
world of Formula One - where the world's best drivers have only seconds to win
or lose a race.” –Back cover.
Martin Luther King by Alan

“The United States in the 1950s and 60s was a
troubled place. Black people were angry, because they did not have the same
rights as whites. It was a time of angry words, of marches, of protests, a time
of bombs and killings. But above the angry noise came the voice of one man - a
man of peace. 'I have a dream,' said Martin Luther King, and it was a dream of
blacks and whites living together in peace and freedom. This is the story of an
extraordinary man, who changed American history in his short life.” –Back

Titanic by Tim Vicary

Bookworms: Stage One
"On
a quiet sea, the biggest ship in the world is waiting. There is no noise from the engines. Up in the
night sky there are hundreds of stars.
Behind the ship, an iceberg - a great mountain of ice - goes slowly away
into the black night. In the beautiful
first-class rooms, rich passengers eat and listen to music. Down in the third-class cabins, families
sleep. An exciting new life is waiting
for them in America. But for many of the
people in this small 'city on the sea' this is their last night alive...."

William and Kate by Christine Lindop

Bookworms: Stage One
“Everybody took photos of Prince William when
he first arrived at the University of St Andrews. Crowds of photographers came
to the little Scottish town next to the sea and took pictures of this new
student - the nineteen-year-old grandson of the Queen of England. But
nobody photographed Kate Middleton on her first day at the university. She
moved in quietly, ready to begin her studies in art history. She was just an
ordinary student with an ordinary future in front of her. Or was she?” –Back
