Katy's Bad Hair Day
Katy Brown is very excited. Today she is starting a new job as a London Tour Guide. Unfortunately, it looks as if it is going to be a bad hair day - a day when everything goes wrong. First of all, she leaves her folder in a taxi, then she forgets to collect one of her clients. She is afraid she will lose her job....

'Many of my friends who are learning English have found this book very useful. Being able to read the text while listening to real conversation in a day-to-day situation helps to make learning more interesting. You feel that you really know Katy.' Marita Horcajo (Teacher), England

Break a Leg
Katy Brown, London Tour Guide, takes a group of Russian dancers on a tour of the Globe Theatre. The leading ballerina falls and breaks her leg. What a catastrophe!
The next day, Katy is astonished when her group of erudite Swiss clockmakers are more interested in the street performers in Trafalgar Square than in the history of Lord Horatio Nelson.

The Katy Brown Series

Novelettes with accompanying CD.
Exactly right for those students with a working knowledge of English.
The Katy Brown Series is different because:
     O CD: actors bring the story to life
     O Continuity: same characters in each book
     O Short chapters: for easy back-tracking
     O Glossary: at end of each chapter
     O Questionnaire: at back of book
     O Sightseeing: Katy visits London landmarks
