Against the Odds
(Puffin Books)
978-0140327052, RRP £2.50, Paperback
10-14 Middle/Secondary
Five short stories which read well independently and as a collection. They all have fairy-tale elements in modern settings and through pace and invention Robin Klein creates stories which almost lift off the page from the first paragraph on. They're good for reading aloud and the clear layout and illustrations will make them enjoyable reads for a wide age range.
