Bright Sparks Literacy Project is a set of reading materials that provide staged opportunities for the progressive acquisition of literacy skills in the early years of schooling. Each title draws on a broad base of literacy skills, yet focuses on one or two skills, enabling teachers to appropriately select texts according to student's perceived need. Readers are exposed to a range of appropriate text types and language structures. Texts and activities have been developed around common themes explored in contemporary classrooms, allowing teachers to capitalise on the use of context when reading and writing.

The middle of the Arizona Desert: a glitch has been found in the space probe to Mars. Someone has forgotten to provide enough room for a human and they quickly need to find a creature small enough to fit in the space vehicle. Jamie, with his posh English accent and quirky ideas, may have the solution: a dog. But not just any dog - the wirehaired terrier Pepsi, trained (in her spare time) by Jamie's mother back in England. Will Jamie's outlandish scheme work? Can Pepsi be trained in time? And once he gets to Mars, what will he find? All will be revealed in this imaginative and light-hearted tale for children.
