A compelling account of the well-know story of Grace Darling and her courageous rescue of ship-wrecked passengers in 1838. The Rescue is a book-banded reading book for more confident readers, carefully levelled at Lime Book Band. Beautifully illustrated throughout, this 837-word story features a more demanding text with extended vocabulary and literary devices. It is suitable for ages 8 - 9. The Rescue is part of Ransom Reading Stars, a structured programme for children learning to read. The series has fifteen levels: four phonics levels and eleven book band levels (Pink through to Lime).
