The year is 2833, and History class 56B is about to embark on their VR projects, where they will experience amazing moments in history through state-of-the-art virtual reality pods. Ben enjoys taking part in the first moon walk as Buzz Aldrin, but not so much escaping a dust storm on Mars. Things get even worse when someone hacks into the VR system and the usually safe virtual reality experiences quickly turn dangerous.

Wow! Fiction follows on from the Wow! Facts series and each book can be paired with a non-fiction counterpart on the same theme, such as Exploring Space, Ancient Egypt, or Fighter Planes. Some children may want to find out more about the topic and they can access a non-fiction book at the same level, providing an opportunity to experience different text types and formats.

The titles in the WOW! Fiction series of Hi-Lo books for students aged 9+ include books for reading ages 6–11 years and utilise a range of dyslexia-friendly features to support pupils' reading. The titles in the Gold band have a reading age of 6.5 years and an interest age of up to 14 years. WOW! Fiction books are printed on off-white paper and incorporate an easy-to-read font and text separated into bite-sized chunks, along with carefully considered letter and paragraph spacing that can reduce visual stress.

While these books have instantly appealing characters and gripping storylines, the language and sentence structure are intentionally written so that students who are reading behind their chronological age can succeed in reading them. The whole banded series offers progressively levelled books in Turquoise, Purple, Gold, White, Lime, and Brown bands, with 5 books offering plenty of practice at each level to consolidate learning and develop fluency before moving on.
