He left the local Secondary Modern School at fifteen to work as a copy holder on the local newspaper. At seventeen he enlisted in the RAF and served for three years, two in Germany. On being discharged he worked as a clerk, engineer and printer until 1969 when he entered college to train as a teacher having obtained five 'O' levels at night-school. His first book ' When Darkness Comes' was written as a college thesis and published by Hodder and Stoughton in 1972. In 1980 he gave up teaching to write full time. He likes travelling and visits many schools each year, talking and reading stories to children. He is the secutatry of his local Peace Movement group. Brother in the Land is his first book for Oxford University Press. He is married with two grown-up daughters and lives in Bradford. All character from book are really likeable, story line was perfect and my favourite chapter is 13 because it's just amazing. La lettura è scorrevole, adatta anche a ragazzi e ragazze che masticano pochi libri (133 pagine che si divorano in un attimo!). L'ambientazione è perfettamente in linea con il genere: il fascino del North Yorkshire, delle abbazie e dei ruderi mette voglia di partire all'avventura per scoprire i luoghi e le leggende che fanno da sfondo alla storia. when she first got there her teachers were puting them in rooms.fliss got room 10 and besid her room there was a cupbored

I love the writing. I love the vivid descriptions of Whitby. Without harping on and saying too much, Swindells captures that coast beautifully.There is no room thirteen in the creepy Crow's Nest Hotel, where Fliss and her friends are staying on a school trip. Or is there? For at the stroke of midnight, something peculiar happens to the door of the linen cupboard next to room 12. And something is happening to Ellie-May Sunderland, too—something very sinister... The character Fliss, goes on a journey throughout the book, I feel that her strength was always there, from the beginning, but her confidence in herself needed to come out. As the story progressed, we definitely saw her actions show us as a reader, that she was getting confident, but as a character she seemed to need a bit more convincing. The other characters were very stereo typical of the time, but the reader did see them actually not be who they were seen as in society. The characters interacted well, an convincing the reader was not hard, but we didn't get to see a lot of depth to them. The charecters are very likabel because when there acting you can tell if there rude of there sceared sometime they don't like each other but in the end the are triying to find out what is going on in the hotel. I like when Fliss got her friends to stay up with her and watched..... because it was quite scary and not what you get in an normal horror book. I didn't like when Fliss had that drem about the room because I think it gave it away, but antherwise it was amazing. A creepy story about a second year (Year 11) school holiday to Whitby. Why does Room 13 appear on the stroke of midnight and vanish during the day? Why does Ellie-May start sleepwalking and going into Room 13 every night? And why won't the teacher's believe Fliss and her friends when they tell them what's going on?

Armistice Day: A Collection of Remembrance - Spark Interest and Educate Children about Historical Moments Felicity "Fliss" Morgan: The main character. Fliss begins observing strange events in the hotel at night, and becomes determined to get to the bottom of what is going on. Room 13 was a great story, it was about some school kids about 12 or 13 going on a school trip to Whitby, then they end up going to a stange hotel called The Crows Nest. I would say that the main genre is horror with a bit of imagination in it.This article relies excessively on references to primary sources.

Book is about kids around 12 or 13 going on a school trip to whilby then end up going to some strange hotel called the Crowns Nest, and Atmosphere was really scary The story is predictable but I feel that it is more about friendship than the plot itself, as it is re-telling a well- know tale but more from the point of view of an observer rather than the villain or the victim.Buy from our bookstore and 25% of the cover price will be given to a school of your choice to buy more books. *15% of eBooks.
