Keep Kids Reading!
Looking for easy reads for tweens? Check out our new middle fiction novella list, Wombat Shorts!
What are Wombat Shorts?
Tween fiction.
Minimal words.
Maximum impact.
Wombat Shorts are a new list of middle fiction novellas for busy tweens or reluctant readers. Each book has an easy to follow stand-a-lone story based on topics, struggles and interests that tweens face today.
When so much is going on in day-to-day life it can be hard for kids to pause and take some time to rest and focus. With that in mind, our authors have tailored their stories to help focus busy minds and support readers with writing strategies that keep them engaged.
The extra spacing and shorter length of these books was specifically chosen to allow readers to turn the pages quickly, giving them a strong sense of achievement as they work through the book.
We crafted these titles to make them an ideal choice for all readers from struggling or reluctant readers to busy tweens just looking for a quick yet impactful read. A good reader might pick up each story in a short session, while a less enthusiastic reader might still find something accessible.
When readers have advanced beyond the age groups supported by Wombat Shorts they can easily tranistion into similarly sructured YA novellas through our teen booklist: Rhiza Shorts.
Each story is available in multiple formats (print, eBook and audiobook) so any reader can find the best version that suits their individual needs.
