New research has demonstrated that a simple text manipulation can reduce the phenomenon known as migration (letters or words seeming to move) and lead to improved comprehension when reading narrative text for readers with delayed-visual-disengagement dyslexia. When reading aloud from this adjusted text, compared to normal text, research participants made fewer mispronunciations, fewer omissions, fewer substitutions, and fewer migrations and thus scored higher on standardised tests of comprehension. Crossbridge Books is the first publisher to publish books using this adjusted text.

Wolves of Russia Part One: Changing Landscapes (dyslexia-friendly edition) is published in this format. The content is not considered suitable for readers below the age of fourteen.

"This is a profoundly moving story of one man and his family caught up in the tumultuous events of the Revolution and War years in Europe.

"I was extremely impressed with this novel, it's an important accomplishment. Weaving the tale of this true story through eye-witness accounts and meticulously detailed research to take us on a fascinating adventure through a chaotic landscape of societal upheaval, personal tragedy, and the political intrigues of war. I found myself carried along on the journey, the writing flows and is vividly descriptive which made it pretty much effortless to read in a few days. Wonderfully absorbing, and informative for history buffs." Rolf Mohr - Lead Concept Artist, Disney
