Description
Odysseus is a hero but all he really wants to do is defeat the Trojans and go home. The trouble is both those tasks will take a bit longer than he hoped, and he'll need all his cunning to get there. What's more, once he does, there will be more challenges in store!
Odysseus is part of the Bloomsbury High Low series which encourage and support reading practice by providing gripping, age-appropriate and illustrated stories for struggling and reluctant readers, those with dyslexia, or those with English as an additional language (EAL). With bonus bits at the back of the book, including reading notes and exciting facts, these are perfect for sparking discussion and engaging young readers. Printed on tinted paper with a dyslexia-friendly font, Odysseus is aimed at readers aged 10+ and has a manageable length (96 pages) and reading age (8+).
Produced in association with reading experts at Catch Up, a charity which aims to address underachievement caused by literacy and numeracy difficulties.

Hannah N, Educator
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.
