This historical fiction chapter book series features decodable tales of survival against the odds for children aged 10-14

Against the Odds: Crashed is part of the new Against the Odds series, a captivating collection of fiction books inspired by true events. In this installment, three young people’s bravery is seriously put to the test in these gripping stories about real-life crash landings.

Each title in this collection unravels the extraordinary experiences of young people overcoming incredible challenges. Whether it’s facing the unknown or triumphing against the odds, these stories are both riveting and inspiring.

This historical learn-to-read series for children offers:

  • Popular and captivating topics featured in a historical fiction chapter book series.
  • Decodable text in Hi-Lo style that makes the story accessible for striving readers.
  • A focus on prefixes, suffixes and word roots that enhances decoding, spelling and vocabulary.
  • Engaging stories that follow historical fiction narratives - inspired by true events - to engage and motivate reluctant readers.


The Against the Odds series focuses on morphology, which is largely important for improving spelling and reading comprehension. Crashed focuses on suffixes that mean ‘the state or result of’ to empower children to become fluent independent readers. Serving as a vital bridge between decodable and mainstream books, this book will empower readers to confidently understand the meaning from text alone.

We believe in the power of discovery. That's why we create books for everyone that explore ideas and nurture curiosity about the world we live in. From first words to the Big Bang, from the wonders of nature to city adventures, you will find expert knowledge, hours of fun and endless inspiration in the pages of our books.
