It was nice but not my favourite. It was a bit too basic for my likings.

This book is part of the Bloomsbury High Low series which has been introduced to help and encourage those that are struggling and/or reluctant readers and for me I think it would be a big hit!

This book contains 3 short stories of Odysseus. They are based on the original myths with clear, easy to understand language but with the gore and adventure you would expect from the Greeks!
Suitable for KS2, with language clear enough for most year 3s but excitement for older readers. A great book for year 5 or 6 reluctant or struggling readers.
