Information about the series: Reading books for support classes. Age-appropriate full texts are often too extensive and too difficult for struggling readers. The series "Simply Read!" presents shortened and simplified youth books. Each chapter begins with a text-relieving illustration and ends with tasks and exercises that ensure text comprehension. Both content-related and linguistic aspects are addressed. Fill-in-the-blank texts, picture and word puzzles, problem-oriented questions, drawing tasks, and other playful exercises support lively reading promotion classes. An answer booklet is included with each book. To facilitate the selection of appropriate reading material, the reading books are assigned to four levels according to reading age and performance capability: Beginner readers: grades 2 to 3, Advanced readers Level 1: grades 3 to 6, Advanced readers Level 2: grades 7/8, Advanced readers Level 3: grades 8 to 10.

Jochen wants nothing more than to escape, but he can't go back home. A gripping text on the topic of youth crime.
