This is a brand new addition to Usborne Young Reading Series 2, which is aimed at children whose reading ability is beginning to grow, and helps build confidence and ability. The Phantom of the Opera lurks beneath the Paris opera house, a mysterious shadow who takes young opera singer Christine under his tutelage and transforms her into a star. But will his growing obsession with Christine, and her blossoming romance with Count Raoul, be the end of them all?This title is sumptuously illustrated by Victor Tavares, who also illustrated the Young Reading titles Beauty and the Beast and Dracula. It is developed in consultation with Alison Kelly, who is a senior lecturer in education and an early reading specialist from Roehampton University.
