EDGE: A Rivets Short Story Books

Miss Edwards had always been good looking - the type of teacher fancied by older students and male staff alike.

She smelled of rotten meat. Of terror. Of death. This title is published by Franklin Watts EDGE, which produces a range of books to get children reading with confidence.

Did you ever think that a dog could save someone's life? I'm living proof that it can happen. My name's Jamie, and I want to tell you about something that happened to me last summer. You were probably on your school holidays. I was in Afghanistan, fighting the Taliban. I lost my leg doing it. But I can live with that. Because if it wasn't for a brave sniffer dog and his handler, I'd have lost a whole lot more...
