Fall into Douglas Bader's harrowing escape from a plummeting Spitfire in World War II. Hold your breath as two families drift over the Berlin Wall in a homemade hot-air balloon!From getaway gladiators to runaway slaves, from the endless Sahara to the impassable Bastille, each exciting story will have young readers eager to escape into the next!Key Features: Fascinating true stories of ingenuity, drama, suspense, and heroicsStories from throughout history, from ancient Rome to the modern dayBlack & white line drawings with each story
