From the Everyone Can Be a Reader (Classics) series comes a retelling of Emily Brontes beloved classic Wuthering Heights, expertly designed to engage reluctant readers and provide an accessible reading experience for all.
The only person who had ever seen me was Heathcliff. And without him as my mirror, I could not even see myself.
When Cathys father brings Heathcliff, an orphaned boy, home to Wuthering Heights, she loses her heart to him. Cathy and Heathcliff are not destined for an easy life or a happy ending. Yet theirs is a love that defies everything: pain, punishment, disaster, even death...
Powerfully retold from Cathys point of view in this stunning new edition from Carnegie Medal winning author Tanya Landman, Wuthering Heights is the tragic story of a passionate, obsessive love. Perfect for anyone seeking adapted classics or dyslexia-friendly literature, the Everyone Can Be a Reader (Classics) hi-lo book series presents accessible versions of classic novels in an easy-to-read style.
Union Square & Co.'s Everyone Can Be a Reader books utilize dyslexia reading tools like specialized fonts and paper tones, and are carefully formatted to meet readers where they are with engaging stories that encourage reading success across a wide range of age and interest levels.

The Window by the Garden
Paperback
After Tova Sullivan’s husband died, she began working the night shift at the Sowell Bay Aquarium, mopping floors and tidying up. Keeping busy has always helped her cope, which she’s been doing since her eighteen-year-old son, Erik, mysteriously vanished on a boat in Puget Sound over thirty years ago. Tova becomes acquainted with curmudgeonly Marcellus, a giant Pacific octopus living at the aquarium. Marcellus knows more than anyone can imagine but wouldn’t dream of lifting one of his eight arms for his human captors—until he forms a remarkable friendship with Tova. Ever the detective, Marcellus deduces what happened the night Tova’s son disappeared. And now Marcellus must use every trick his old invertebrate body can muster to unearth the truth for her before it’s too late. Shelby Van Pelt’s debut novel is a gentle reminder that sometimes taking a hard look at the past can help uncover a future that once felt impossible.
