Chris wakes from a bad dream and the house is so quiet. Walk with Chris to find out the truth. Awake is a book-banded reading book for developing readers, carefully levelled at Green Book Band for guided reading. Beautifully illustrated throughout, this fiction story is suitable for ages 10-14. The story is a ghost story and features a boy who has died so is not suitable for younger pupils.

Awake features a longer, less structured text with a more extended vocabulary. It has more varied and longer sentences, no repetition, and includes made-up words. Story events are longer and there are more words on each page.

Awake is part of Ransom Reading Stars Plus, a structured programme for students learning to read. The series has ten levels: four phonics levels and six book band levels (Pink through to Orange).
