Part of the Usborne Young Reading Programme, this title is based on the classic spine-chiller by Robert Louis Stevenson. It is aimed at children whose reading ability and confidence allows them to tackle longer and more complex stories. In the foggy alleys of Victorian London, Mr. Utterson is seeking to uncover the secret of his friend and client, Dr. Henry Jekyll. Why does the once-respectable Jekyll now lock himself away in his laboratory? And what is his connection to the vicious murderer Edward Hyde who stalks the city's streets at night? Developed in consultation with Alison Kelly, who is Principal Lecturer in Education from Roehampton University and an early reading specialist.
