When Ash and her crew are selected to be the very first humans to visit Robot World, they know something is wrong. They've only ever been to the moon and back, so why have they been chosen for this dangerous mission? Little do they know, the fate of Earth and everybody on it is in their hands.

Wow! Fiction follows on from Wow! Facts series and each book can be paired with a non-fiction counterpart on the same theme such as Exploring Space, Ancient Egypt or Fighter Planes. Some children may want to find out more about the topic and they can access a non-fiction book at the same level, providing an opportunity to experience different text types and formats.

The titles in the WOW! Fiction series of Hi-Lo books for students aged 9+ include books for reading ages 6-11 years and utilise a range of dyslexia-friendly features to support pupils' reading. The titles in the Turquoise band have a reading age of 6 years and an interest age of up to 14 years. WOW! Fiction books are printed on off-white paper and incorporate an easy-to-read font and text separated into bite-sized chunks, along with carefully considered letter and paragraph spacing that can reduce visual stress. While these books have instantly appealing characters and gripping storylines, the language and sentence structure are intentionally written so that students who are reading behind their chronological age can succeed in reading them. The whole banded series offers progressively levelled books in Turquoise, Purple, Gold, White, Lime and Brown bands, with 5 books offering plenty of practice at each level to consolidate learning and develop fluency before moving on.
