The Jeweller and The North Star

This magical, emotionally and colourfully rich story follows Flint, a humble jeweller, and Princess Sapphire, a girl whose grief hardens into greed. When the North Star disappears, plunging the world into darkness, Flint must choose between personal glory and selfless courage - with a stolen star, a missing dog, and the fate of the kingdom at stake.

This book is much more than a story. It contains:

• Over five complete lessons, including comprehension, grammar, vocabulary, analysis, evaluation, creative writing, and summary tasks.
• Two detailed glossaries.
• Over 20 elevated words that support English GCSE preparation (including effulgent, jubilant, crestfallen, mellifluous, and plethora).
• A cross-curricular approach that supports emotional literacy, reading development and critical thinking.
• Answers and teacher support materials included.

Perfect for use in schools (including as part of reading interventions, literacy starters or creative writing units), as well as at home or by tutors. The story is ideal for paired reading or one-between-two classroom use.

Whether used for guided reading, cover lessons or enrichment, 'The Jeweller and the North Star' is a versatile, ready-to-use resource designed to raise reading ages, spark imaginations and build lasting vocabulary.

Raising reading ages can support academic progress, and, as some of the latest studies suggest, even long-term wellbeing and life-expectancy.
