Collins Big Cat - Searching for Jamila: Band 18/Pearl

Matt and Alex and their little sister Lizzie have returned to England from their fun-filled holiday in India. Accompanying them is their young ayah, Jamila. The day after they return home, the children wake to find Jamila gone. Who made her leave? Where did she go?

She is alone and penniless in a new country and the children know they must find her.

And so, the search for the ayah begins.

Pearl/Band 18 books offer fluent readers a complex, substantial text with challenging themes to facilitate sustained comprehension, bridging the gap between a reading programme and longer chapter books.

Ideas for reading in the back of the book provide practical support and stimulating activities.
