This exciting new resource has recently been reviewed by two Australian Education experts, Lee Burton and Robyn Treyvaud, who both agree that "Angel Boy is a unique resource that will provide schools with stories in multi modal form to engage learners with poor literacy skills to highly creative students."
The stories deal with sensitive issues such as bullying and acceptance and cover a large range of genres and themes. All four stories would be excellent for Australian teachers in the areas of English, Media Studies, ICT, Values Education and Visual Art.
