When Juan witnesses a terrible accident that injures a young whale shark, he becomes determined to protect the creatures he loves - even if it means challenging the industry that supports his family.

The titles in the WOW! Fiction series of Hi-Lo books for students aged 9+ include books for reading ages 6-8 years and utilise a range of dyslexia-friendly features to support pupils' reading. The titles in the Brown band have a reading age of 7-8 years and an interest age of up to 14 years. The WOW! Fiction text is on top of a cream background and incorporates an easy-to-read font and text separated into bite-sized chunks, along with carefully considered letter and paragraph spacing that can reduce visual stress. While these books have instantly appealing characters and gripping storylines, the language and sentence structure are intentionally written so that students who are reading behind their chronological age can succeed in reading them. The whole banded series offers progressively levelled books in Turquoise, Purple, Gold, White, Lime and Brown bands, with 5 books offering plenty of practice at each level to consolidate learning and develop fluency before moving on.
