"Ransom Publishing produce zingy, readable books for struggling and reluctant readers. This specialist area struggled to break free from looking worthy, dull and orthopaedic for many years. Ransom have worked hard to break out of this mould and with their lively presentation, combined with an ever expanding ebook range they have produced some appetising fare for young readers."
