Classics Retold Synopsis

Beautifully simple abridged versions of the Classics for a young new audience.

In this story based on Jules Verne's original text, three explorers are taken captive aboard the world's first submarine where they encounter incredible sights ... from deep-sea monsters to hidden sunken cities but will they ever escape?

Enter the world of literary classics with these expertly retold chapter books for young readers. Atmospheric and evocative colour artwork accompanies accessible text in a dyslexia friendly-font. Extra features include a short biography of Jules Verne, plus some extra facts and comprehension exercises at the back of the book to help students study the text in more depth. A brilliant edition for all classrooms and perfect for readers age 7+ making the next step to longer texts.
