Ransom 2012 – Unlocking literacy 

Welcome to Ransom’s 2012 catalogue. This year’s bumper catalogue has doubled in size, with 32 pages of 

titles designed to help you develop your pupils’ reading skills. Ransom is well known for our great books for 

reluctant and struggling readers; this new catalogue includes a variety of new titles for different reading 

levels and ages. 

At Ransom we always try to listen to what you tell us you need, so in 2012 we start to publish for more able 

readers. We have started small with just three titles, which I hope you will agree provide something new to 

meet the needs of children who need stimulating and stretching reads that are age-appropriate. We also 

know that you find our teacher’s books a great source of ideas and resources, so we have added in new titles 

in the Unlocking series, plus a new series of photocopiable literacy resources – Results in English. 

As always, we value your feedback. The very many positive comments we get on how much our books are 

liked and how they work is a great encouragement, but we also welcome feedback on what we get wrong 

and – of course – what else you would like. You can email me direct at jenny@ransom.co.uk. 

All the best

Victoria Crivelli,

It is great to find a publisher who is making real efforts 

to provide books and resources that are appropriate 

for these students who find reading difficult and have 

become disengaged from the whole process.

Thunderbolts 

Interest age 7 – 14 years | Reading age 5 – 7 years 

David and Helen Orme 

Forthcoming! 

A series of levelled reading books covering popular non-fiction topics, with particular appeal to 

older readers. The 24 full-colour titles offer progression over four levels. As with the Trailblazers 

series, these books combine a non-fiction section with a fiction story on the same topic. 

The six lowest level books, in Set One, have no words in them, allowing reluctant and struggling 

readers with the greatest difficulties to engage with narratives. The Set One books are also valuable 

as starting points for discussion and creative work. 

Set Two introduces a very limited number of words on each page, with Sets Three and Four offering a further degree of 

progression. In all cases the texts focus on high frequency vocabulary, with all words being phonically decodable wherever 

possible. 

The highest level Thunderbolts books have a reading level that is below that of Ransom’s popular Trailblazers series.

Four very funny stories for newly independent readers, all featuring Hairy Mole and his pirate 

crew: Guff, Belch, Pickle, the twins Crevice and Pit – and of course Mr Bogey, with his extrasqueaky

PIG 


Forthcoming! 

Barbara Catchpole 

Meet Peter Ian Green – P.I.G for short. All his friends and family call him Pig. Even the teachers. 

Pig is 12 and is small for his age. He has sticky-out ears and bright red hair which is also sticky up. 

He attends Coalpits Road High School (or ‘The Pits’ as it is known locally) and lives with his mum. 

Pig is small for his age, but says his mum is huge for hers. She is a single mum but Pig says she looks more 

like a double mum or even a treble mum. 

PIG and the Talking Poo 

Pig has a huge brown plastic dog poo. 

(‘Not one of those long ones like a cigar 

that go dry. This one’s a curly brown, 

wet-looking poo, with a little black 

plastic fly on it.’) Pig thinks the poo talks 

to him (he doesn’t think that really – 

he’s not bonkers or anything). But he 

does miss his poo lots when he loses it – 

mainly because it reminds him of his dad. 

PIG plays Cupid 

9781841675206 

PIG takes advantage of a free offer to 

set his mum up on the Kissy Kissy Online 

Dating Site (‘Meet your hero – hundreds 

of hunky men free for the online single 

lady.’) When PIG invites two of them to 

meet his mum (at the same time) things 

go from worse to even worse than that. 

Do people on online dating sites always 

tell lies? 

9781841675213 

PIG gets the Black Death 

(nearly) 

PIG hates needles, so he uses his skills to 

avoid the school vaccinations. But then 

comes a history lesson on the Black Death. 

Terrified, he tries to rejoin the queue – 

only to find it’s not that easy. Surely it’s 

only a matter of time before he becomes 

another victim of the plague. 

9781841675220 

PIG and the Fancy Pants 

PIG is late for school and he can’t find 

his pants – so he puts on his sister’s 

sparkly pink Drama Diva panties. Things 

get difficult when he has to do PE and is 

found in the teachers’ toilets in his sister’s 

panties. All ends well and PIG is even 

offered a surfing holiday as a result. 

PIG and the Long Fart 

9781841675237 

Pig falls in love with a girl in his class. 

To impress her he agrees to make a 

speech at school assembly, in front of 

the Mayor and all the parents. Unfortunately 

nerves have a very upsetting 

effect on Pig’s stomach, and when all 

his concentration is spent on holding in 

a fart, his speech inevitably suffers. 

PIG Saves the Day 

9781841675244 

PIG wants to be in the school football 

team, but there is one problem: he is 

rubbish at football. When the team 

goalie is injured (looking at the other 

school’s cheerleaders whilst walking), 

PIG ends up in goal. Can he save the 

day? 

9781841676180 

The PIG Workbooks 

40 pages, A4, photocopiable black and white 

The PIG reading books are 

all supported by workbooks 

containing worksheets 

specific to each title, as well

the resources.

so are ideal for reluctant or struggling readers. 

These stories were originally published in 1998 and have been republished owing 

to popular demand, but with updated texts and striking new illustrations.

Spook Squad 

Interest age 7 – 12 years | Reading age 8 years 

Roger Hurn 

The Spook Squad are Roxy, Leena, Nita, Emma and (whether they want him or not) 

Rattle the poltergeist. The four girls are as bright and sparky as a fire in a fireworks 

factory. And they have a job to do: to protect humans from ghouls, ghosts, 

long-legged beasties and things that go bump in the night. 

So, on dark and stormy nights, when the vampires are being a pain in the neck 

and hairy horrors are on the prowl, the Spook Squad goes into action. 

Adventures too 

scary for boys!

Vampire Dawn 


Anne Rooney 

Forthcoming! 

In Die Now or Live Forever, the first book in the series, five teenagers camping in a forest 

stumble across a dead body. It triggers a terrifying descent into blood-lust and vampirism 

that leads them into an ancient underworld ruled by a French nobleman over 300 years old. 

The remaining books in the series, which can be read in any order, follow these new young 

vampires as they struggle to cope with immortality and their craving for human blood. From 

Juliette modelling in Paris to rising music star Finn and would-be scientist Omar, they face tough 

challenges and deadly threats. 

This is a gripping and edgy reinvention of the vampire 

genre. Mixing the contemporary world of YouTube and 

smartphones with the centuries-old, traditional vampires 

of yesteryear, these must-read books have high appeal for 

both boys and girls.

Cutting Edge 

Interest age teens and young adults | Reading age 12 + years 

Individual titles 

available at £7.99 

A collection of 17 compelling shorter reads, ideal for older teens and young adults who are generally turned off books. The 

stories are fast-paced, gripping, and feature hard-hitting plots about the tougher side of life, with which many readers will 

associate. The series features new, well known and award winning authors from South Africa, USA, Australia and Britain. The 

stories are shorter than the average novel, with a word count between 25,000 and 35 000, and the books have a larger font, 

making them more accessible for less keen readers. 

• For young adults who find conventional fiction irrelevant to them or too hard to read. 

• An honest and hard-hitting approach to subject matter that will be familiar to many teens.

Adult Literacy 

Interest age young adult/adult | Reading age 5 – 8 years 

Forthcoming! 

Hearsay is a new set of books based on synthetic phonics and developed specifically 

to support adult literacy. All reading books in the series are designed to appeal to 

adult readers, with a wide range of appropriate topics, both fact and fiction, ranging 

from romance to war and adventure. In all cases the books are accessible and 

age-appropriate, and are structured to ensure success and build confidence. 

Each reading book is accompanied by an optional workbook, containing appropriate 

phonics-based/comprehension activities to support the reading. 

How the series is structured 

The Hearsay synthetic phonics resources are structured into five stages. Each Hearsay stage 

corresponds closely with the stages offered by synthetic phonics programmes. However the five 

stages in Hearsay are carefully tailored to suit the specific learning requirements of adults. 

The Hearsay Stage One books are suitable for a person reading at Entry Level 2 and moving 

towards Entry Level 3 (as defined in the UK Adult Literacy Core Curriculum). These books equate 

broadly to Phase 2 of the Letters and Sounds programme. The Hearsay Stage Two books are 

appropriate for learners at Entry Level 3 of the UK Adult Literacy Core Curriculum and equate broadly 

to Phase 3 of Letters and Sounds. 

Books at the two lowest levels (Stages One and Two) are available now. Books at the higher Stages 

Three, Four and Five will be available in due course. 


Reading books and workbooks are available individually or as part of a pack. Each Pack contains 6 copies 

of the reading book and one copy of the supporting workbook. 

All Hearsay reading books are B format paperback, 20 pages (plus cover), illustrated 

throughout. Supporting workbooks are 24 page, A4.

Meet Steve Sharp – an Afro-Caribbean detective 

trying to do the right thing in the tough 

world of gangsters and organised crime.

Hammett.

The texts are based around recognised 

high frequency vocabulary and emphasis 

has been placed on making the texts 

phonically decodable wherever possible. 

The books are 36pp plus cover, with b/w 

illustrations throughout and the short, 

clipped style of the 500-word stories is

Cold Fusion 

Interest age 9 – 12 | Reading age 12 + years 

Forthcoming! 

NEW! 

FOR GIFTED 

READERS 

This new series caters for the interests of the more gifted reader – children who find that the run-of-the-mill books available 

for their age group are just not stimulating enough. 

Each of the books in the Cold Fusion series tackles a compelling topic in a way that is more demanding than the average 

book for 8 to 12 year-olds. The series includes both fiction and non-fiction, but in all cases the reader will be stretched with 

stimulating ideas. No specialist knowledge is assumed – all that readers need is an open, curious mind and a willingness to be 

challenged. 

The books in this series are not necessarily very long reads; more able readers do not always want to read ‘doorstops’. Rather 

it is the content of these books and the vocabulary used that is used that is more demanding. 

How Do We Know Anything? 

David Orme and Stephen Rickard 9781781271018 £6.99 

Sometimes the most innocent questions are the hardest to answer. Is the Earth really round? 

Did Christopher Columbus really discover America? Does three plus eight make eleven? How do 

you know? How do you know anything? 

This is a light-hearted, stimulating and provocative journey through the jungles of fact and 

fiction, knowledge and wisdom, and thinking for yourself. 

Are you the victim of other people’s thinking? How can you be sure? 

NON-FICTION 

FICTION 

Never Odd or Even 

John Townsend 9781781271025 £6.99 

‘I’m at that special age: 12. It’s one of my favourite numbers. 12 isn’t just the sum of 10 

(the base of our whole amazing number system) and 2 (the only even prime number in the 

universe) but it’s the first number with 1, 2, 3 and 4 as factors. I reckon that’s so cool.’ 

Here’s a detective story with a difference. Eliot is twelve – and he thinks outside the box. He 

can’t help it. Numbers are his thing – and letters. So when ‘the biggest mystery that struck our 

school in the history of the world’ needs to be solved, Eliot is the one to call on. 

But this time the solution doesn’t lie in the real world (or in the ‘real’ world of the story). 

Instead, the solution lies inside the book itself – only it’s locked away in a series of puzzles and 

palindromes. Can you find the clues, solve the puzzles and find the culprit? 

Why Haven’t We Seen Aliens? 

NON-FICTION 

Stephen Rickard 9781781271001 £6.99 

If there really is alien life elsewhere in the Universe, then it’s reasonable to ask why we haven’t 

seen it. Surely our planet Earth would have been visited by aliens by now? Does that mean that 

alien life doesn’t exist? 

This book uses some simple maths to take a sober look at the chances of our actually meeting 

alien life. After all, we will only meet up if both we and they are in the right place at the right 

time. The Universe is a big place – and it has been around for a long time. Perhaps we were ‘out’ 

when they visited us. 

All Cold Fusion books are approx. 100 pages

Professional Development titles 

for literacy staff 

A fresh new series written for the busy, practising professional. Each book in the series focuses on a key literacy topic, with an 

emphasis on providing practical suggestions that can be implemented in the classroom. 

Recognising that busy professionals do not always have time to read a book from beginning to end, these books are 

designed to be rewarding (and easy!) to dip into and browse for fresh ideas and perspectives. Each topic is covered in two 

ways: first with a broad overview of the topic, followed by practical activity suggestions that can be used to engage the 

children. 

An essential part of every professional’s (and parent’s) toolkit. 

NEW! 

Motivating Reluctant and Struggling Readers 

Stephen Rickard 220 pages 9781841679754 £22.50 

An essential resource that focuses exclusively on motivating reluctant and struggling readers. 

Children who struggle with reading often have a negative relationship with books and the 

written word. As they read less and less, their literacy skills are not developed and they fall 

further behind. 

All titles in the Professional 

Development series are 188 


colour cover, b/w text, 

illustrated throughout. 

This book offers practical activity suggestions to break 

this vicious cycle and re-engage children with reading in 

its broadest sense. Topics covered include: alternatives to 

books, avoiding ‘switching children off’, using computers 

and digital technology effectively and developing generic 

strategies to overcome resistance to reading. 

As with other books in this series, every chapter is followed by specific activity suggestions. 

Unlocking the Reader in Every Child 

Susan Elkin 233 pages 9781841679709 £22.50 

Published in mid-2010 and fast becoming a classic, 

Unlocking the Reader in Every Child has received fivestar 

ratings from teachers. 

Drawing on best practice over the years and avoiding ‘here 

today, gone tomorrow’ fashions, this is a basic, quick-to-read 

guide to teaching reading. 

It is incredibly practical and its clear layout makes it an ideal 

one-stop guide and resource. More than this though, it 

provides a toolkit with practical activities, games and ‘try this’ 

ideas to help develop reading skills and 

overcome obstacles. 

An excellent resource for both 

the literacy specialist and for anyone 

with a passion for encouraging 

reading for pleasure in young people. 

It should find a place on every 

parent's bookshelf and in every 

school’s staff library.

Literacy and School Libraries Consultant

for literacy staff 

Unlocking the Writer in Every Child 

Susan Elkin 240 pages 9781841679716 £22.50 

The essential companion to the successful ‘Unlocking 

the Reader’, this new book focuses on the often 

neglected issue of writing. It follows the same format 

as its predecessor, offering explanation, tips and 

guidance alongside practical activities to engage 

and support writing. 

Individual chapters focus on writing fiction, plays 

and poetry, writing non-fiction and writing with 

digital tools. A specific chapter also addresses 

publishing children’s work. 

Unlocking the Poet in Every Child 

David Orme 200 pages 9781841679693 £22.50 

The definitive book for teaching and supporting 

poetry in the classroom. It looks at the ways in 

which poetry supports many aspects of literacy 

by making links with other curriculum areas, as well 

as providing a huge variety of models for writing, 

opportunities to consider grammar and punctuation 

and to widen vocabulary. 

The book covers strategies for teaching poetry and 

includes over 60 differentiated poetry activity ideas, 

each with accompanying poetry texts (written by the 

author) to support the activity. An anthology of 

poems (again written by the author) is also 

included to support poetry in the classroom. 

Forthcoming! 

Unlocking Speaking and Listening in Every Child 

Professional Development Pack £85 

Four titles: ‘Unlocking the Reader’, ‘Unlocking the Writer’, ‘Unlocking the 

Poet’ and ‘Motivating Reluctant and Struggling Readers’ 9781841677057 

220 pages 9781841671383 £22.50 

Unlocking children’s speaking and listening skills is crucially important in developing children’s 

literacy and communication abilities. Good communication improves performance, is more 

rewarding for the individual and builds children’s self-esteem. 

This book, the latest addition to the successful ‘Unlocking ...’ series, includes sections covering 

developing listening skills, speaking for a purpose, structuring group discussions, building self 

esteem and social skills, word games and language play and assessing speaking and listening.
