«Billy Elliot» is the graded English reader by Melvin Burgess, published by Pearson Education ESL in paperback (56 pages, in English).
Billy Elliot, an eleven-year-old boy from the north of England, doesn't fit in with the other boys: he's not very smart or good at sports. His life changes when he discovers ballet, the only thing he's good at. But in his mining town, during the 1984 strike, ballet is considered a girl's thing, and his father and brother have other plans for him.
Published in 2012, it belongs to the Pearson English Readers collection, level 3 (1200 words), and adapts the movie screenplay by Lee Hall. This pack includes MP3 audio.
Aimed at intermediate-level students of English as a foreign language (ELT/ESL) who want to practice reading in English.
