A series of true-life adventures for reluctant or less-able readers, encompassing astonishing feats and adventures, dangerous journeys and great moments from the world of football. Each book contains three short stories of approximately 1,500 words each on a linked theme, written in a very accessible style and illustrated throughout with lively black-and-white line artwork. Where possible the illustrations have a "non-fiction" feel: maps, diagrams and cutaways all feature.
