I read the book Heroes, Australians at their Best by Allan Baillie. It was published by Phoenix Education. It is a book about real men and women who often risked their own lives in order to save or protect others. There are true stories such as The Bomb Hunter, Wrestling a Croc, Nightmare at Sea, and many more heroic tales.

This book is suitable for ages 8 and up and good for a read-aloud. I also think that all of the stories were well written, but there were too many advanced words that younger children might not be able to read.

But overall, it is a great book, and I think that anyone who reads it will enjoy the stories in it.
