Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde (Paperback)

Why has Jekyll suddenly changed his will, and what is his connection with the frightening Mr. Hyde?In London s squalor, a child is trampled and an elderly gentleman brutally murdered. Why do all fingers point towards Mr. Hyde?Is Jekyll strong enough to resist Hyde s strange power? Are Jekyll s friends strong enough to help?In this exploration of two sides of Victorian London and two sides of human nature, the conflict between good and evil has been given a terrifying twist."Real Reads" are accessible texts designed to support the literacy development of primary and lower secondary age children while introducing them to the riches of our international literary heritage.
