Odysseus is finally heading home after a long war, but his troubles have just begun. Terrible dangers are in store for the cunning her, from one-eyed monsters to cannibal kings, in this action-packed retelling of the epic tale by Homer. The Odyssey is in Series Three of Usborne Young Reading, which combines good stories with easy reading text. Usborne Young Reading has been developed in consultation with Alison Kelly, Principal Lecturer at Roehampton University. Series One is for readers who have just started reading alone. Series Two is for readers who are growing in confidence. Series Three is for readers who are ready for longer stories.
