The Iron Golem
When Jack hears an explosion like thunder, he races out to find an iron golem stomping in circles in his field, clutching a tiny flower. Why is this mighty guardian stuck going nowhere? And how could one small farm boy possibly move a creature made of solid metal? Jack will need every clever, questionable, probably-terrible plan he can think up to help his new friend find a real home. This decodable reader practises si making /zh/ in words such as ‘decision,’ ’explosion,’ ‘confusion,’ and ’treasure.’
