About the Books
Each title places the reader directly in the shoes of someone living through a perilous moment in history, using a lively, immersive "survival guide" style. Avoid Working in a Victorian Mill transports readers to 1842 Manchester, where a child taken from their mother must survive gruelling conditions in a cotton mill. Avoid Entering the Ancient Greek Olympics! explores Ancient Greek sport, education and religion through the eyes of a would-be Olympic competitor. Avoid Being a Roman Soldier drops readers into the rigid discipline of the Roman army, covering drills, weapons and camp life. Avoid Sailing with Christopher Columbus! follows the explorer's perilous Atlantic crossings and his controversial legacy in the New World. Every book is 32 pages, printed in full colour, with humorous illustrations, informative captions, glossaries and indexes that make them ideal for guided reading and topic work, helping children absorb real historical facts while they're too busy trying to survive!
