This week we have SIX half-price ‘ebooks of the week’ for you.
Why six? Because we want to give club members the chance to find something at or around their current level.
The ebooks below go from easiest (A1) to hardest (B2). None of them are long, but the easiest ones are really very short, which is actually the point. They’re supposed to be short, to give you confidence reading and listening to them.
Check out the FREE sample chapters before you buy. Click the audio link, too, and you’ll find the audio for the ENTIRE STORY available online. If the text’s too easy for you, listen to the audio anyway (for free) just to get some extra listening practice.
OK, so here we go – from easiest/shortest to hardest/longest, remember!
