You're on Trial
Sheila Hollins, Glynis Murphy and Isabel Clare. Illustrated by Beth Webb
Out of stock.
We regret that we have currently run out of stock of
this book and hard copies are not available for sale at present. We
apologise for any inconvenience.
This book is about what happens when someone is accused of a
crime. It will help you if you have been accused of a crime and
have to go to court for a trial.
In our story we see what happens to Dave when he has to go on
trial in a Magistrates' Court, and we also see what a Magistrates'
Court looks like. The 'story' is told in pictures without any words
although there is a text at the back of the book which may be
useful too. You can make any story you like from the book as the
pictures will fit any crime and any verdict.
If the police think you may have done a crime, they will
arrest you and take you to the police station. You can also read
more about what happens at the police station in the book
You're under Arrest.
The authors all work with people with learning disabilities.
