Here are further six "Treetops" titles in "Oxford Reading Tree's" series of fiction with built-in progression for pupils aged 7-11.

This title is ideal for both guided reading group work and independent reading.

Antarctic Adventure - Crossing the Continent This is the gripping narrative of Sir Ranulph Fiennes' journey across the frozen-wastes of Antarctica with his companion Dr Mike Stroud. They are the first to attempt a walk across this vast landmass with no rescuers nearby, and pulling heavily-loaded sleds behind them. Two optimistic men embark on a journey of discovery about themselves and each other as much as the inhospitable landscape around them. The journey is fraught with danger, and the men are soon demoralised and beginning to hate each other. Anna Perera accurately recounts the tensions and dramas on their journey, and this text is supported by stunning photography and artwork. Year 5 title supporting the basic need for different text-types (non-fiction) reading in NLS. TreeTops now branching out into non-fiction, with the same high-quality that the fiction strands enjoy. These books contain full introduction and story background sections, narrative 'faction' text and full supporting contents, index and glossary.

Parkin, Trevor

In the tradition of  The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, this is the story of one boy's experience of the war against terror - behind the barbed wire.  Khalid is a normal fifteen-year-old. He likes footy, seeing his friends, playing football down the park.  He isn't too excited about visiting his family in Karachi, but his Mum and Dad shame him in to going with them - for the family's sake.  So he goes, and one day opens the door to an unthinkable  nightmare. Kidnapped by unknown assailants, Khalid is forced  to go to a place no child should ever see.  A place where systematic humiliation, torture and brutality are part of the daily routine. A prison he is powerless to escape.  A living hell called Guantanamo Bay.  Ages 13+
