Real Reads: Charles Dickens Pack

Ebenezer Scrooge, Oliver Twist and Pip, the poor boy with great expectations, are characters who seem written to delight children even more than adults! So it’s a pity that Charles Dickens’ books are simply too long and tough for all but the most ambitious young readers to broach. But with these Real Reads books, children can discover Dickens’ dazzling plots and larger-than-life characters themselves, through entertaining short retellings that capture all the drama of the great novels and foster a real sense of reading achievement.
