Synopsis

In The Phoney Mob, Cat and Ant help to uncover some villains who are using mobile phones to commit crimes. In Stage Fright, Tiger saves the day in the school play and stops Plug and Socket stealing the amazing micro-watches. In Sharks on the Loose, Leo and Matt dress up as sharks to promote
Leo's dad's fish shop. Also in this cluster, find out more about masks used for entertainment and for protection in the two non fiction books, Masks in Film and Theatre and Safe Behind a Mask.

Each book comes with notes for parents that highlight tricky words or concepts in the books, prompt questions and suggest a range of follow-up activities. The Masks and Disguises Guided Reading Notes provide step-by-step guided reading support for each book in the Masks and Disguises cluster,
together with guidance about comprehension, assessment for learning and vocabulary enrichment. Hands-on follow-up activities and cross-curricular links are also provided for each book.

About this title

About the Author

Mick is a published author with a very strong pedigree - over 100 books for children published to date, by major publishers including Oxford University Press, Heinemann, Penguin, Walker Books, Watts and Longman. Mick has also been involved in a variety of broadcast media. He frequently tours
schools with his workshops, where children (and sometimes adults) are encouraged to bring stories to life. Mick's talents encompass every genre, and he is as comfortable with rhyme as with prose, fiction as with non-fiction. He is able to inject light and humour into any setting, but also weaves
magic and intrigue into the dark worlds of traditional tales, myths and legends. Mick writes in a shed in Cambridge, where he can play Wagner as loud as he likes.
