I've just finished reading this with one of my year 7 reading groups. They all really enjoyed it and desperately want to read more about the individual characters. The short story format worked really well for a reading group and the vocab was a good level for struggling readers (plenty of tricky words for them to practice sounding out, but enough they could already read for the stories to flow).
I think the final story was my favourite and I like that it highlighted the work of Battersea.
