The Bridge of Dark Tears

A black crumbling bridge is guarded by a fire-breathing demon. The bridge is invisible to most, but Josie can see things others cannot. She guides the Dark Man to the bridge. They see children being drawn across it. They are slaves to the shadow masters. Can Dark Man fight this terrible evil and destroy the bridge of dark tears? This book is part of the Dark Man Series, a range of books for emergent teen and adult readers. With only a limited vocabulary, these gritty and mysterious books pull readers into the tense storyline. The sinister atmosphere and strong black-and-white illustrations all ensure that the book appeals to older readers and isn't patronising. This is one of the higher level stories in the Dark Man series offering a degree of progression for more able readers.
