Julia Eccleshare's comment:

Reading age 8, interest age 9+. Danger surrounds Barney on all sides in this quick-fire thriller set on the slopes of a ski resort. When Barney is woken in the night by voices outside his room in the ski resort, he knows something suspicious is going on. From that moment on, Barney’s life is at risk. Everywhere he goes, danger lurks and Barney faces the real possibility of being shot – dead! An exciting adventure with a powerful and dramatic plot.

Without exception dyslexia-friendly books published by Barrington Stoke get off to an exciting start and maintain the impetus throughout, with a cliffhanger at the end of every chapter.  The plot is clear, the characters appealing and there are plenty of visual clues, as dyslexics like to run a story like a video in their heads.
