The graded readers in this series aim to provide learners of English with a pleasurable reading experience. The series, which should appeal to a wide age range, exposes students to a variety of styles and kinds of English and the books contain puzzles and exercises based on the text. The grading system is based on lexical controls, structural controls and guidelines on sentence length and complexity. Books in Level 2 have a vocabulary of 600 words.

The story of two men—Harold Abrahams and Eric Liddell—who run not to run but to prove something to the world. They will sacrifice anything to achieve their goals, except their honor. Two men, Abrahams and Liddell, one a Jew who runs to triumph over bigotry, the other a Scots missionary who runs to glorify God. Two men eager to face their finest hour in the 1924 Olympics; two men who race toward greatness.
