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.

Kacey and her friends visit her Aunt Mary, who lives in a Victorian mansion not far from Salem, Massachusetts. On an island off the coast lies a real castle which once belonged to Aunt Mary and was leased to the town for a museum. Garth Simms, a spirit medium and witch, claimed to inherit the castle and took it for himself. To investigate the matter, Kacey, Ava, and Emma attend Garth's seance to prove to their friend Brittany that ghosts, magic, and mediums are not real. But Garth takes Brittany hostage and threatens her life unless the girls bring him what he wants. They rely on their faith in God to rescue their friend Brittany from Garth's evil clutch despite interference from the castle's 'ghost'.

Eighteen-year-old Kacey and her two best friends, Emma and Ava, have volunteered at a summer camp for kids with special needs. Their friendship is threatened when Emma decides to call it quits. Kacey also has to contend with a troublesome boy named Bartley, who is always getting himself into mischief. The girls have fun with other teen counselors but things get out of control when rumors of bear attacks surface, and Bartley ends up in danger. Will Kacey's faith in God be strong enough to help her to save him?
