Project X: Y5 Blue Band: Hidden Depths Cluster: Toxic!

Part of Project X, a guided reading programme from Oxford University Press, designed to engage young readers—especially boys—with a blend of fiction and nonfiction, high-energy stories, 21st-century illustrations, and follow-up activities. Each book in the Hidden Depths cluster—like Toxic!—includes notes for teachers or parents highlighting tricky vocabulary, prompting comprehension questions, and suggesting cross-curricular activities.
