Livewire is a range of reading material with a teenage/adult interest level for those with reading ages below 10, or for adult students learning English as a second or foreign language. All Livewire titles have been written by experienced special needs teachers, and have been fully assessed by The Basic Skills Agency to ensure accessibility in both layout and content. Facts and photographs sustain the interest of the beginner reader. The books are subtly colour-coded for the appropriate 'reading age' and have superb photographs throughout. This biography of Lauryn Hill is part of the Livewire Real Lives series, which features personalities from sport, film and music, politics and history.
