Adventure on the Knolls
Margaret Dundrow
Coming just at the moment when my Y4s are 'doing' Invaders, this is one of those books that's going to find a niche in the National Curriculum reading enrichment lists. True. it's a fairly predictable format with the convenience of an accidental fall leading not to the bottom of the chalk pit, but back 2,000 years. The story is, however, well-researched, lively and exciting. It provides factual details that children relate to easily and can use elsewhere in their own writing. Thank you 'The Dundrows' - are there any more in the pipeline?
