Room 13, Robert Swindells - Full Novel Study or Whole Class Room 13, Robert Swindells - Full Novel Study or Whole Class

Fliss begins observing strange events in the hotel at night, and becomes determined to get to the bottom of what is going on. I diden't really like the part when fliss had a dream that she was walking about and then she saw the hotel or the big gates.

I didn't like when Fliss had that drem about the room because I think it gave it away, but antherwise it was amazing. It does create a very good atmosphere, but I think there could have been more added to bolster the mysterious element of the story. And I remember going to a different library and borrowing "Room 13", and it ended up being a completely different book, and I loved that one too, but I could never find it again. Planning for each session includes vocabulary to discuss, a section to read, discussion questions and an independent response task. Room 13 is a Gothic-horror children's novel written by the acclaimed award-winning children's author Robert Swindells.

I wasn't wholly convinced by the dialogue, and I am sadly a bit too old to really care for the storyline, but it was utterly charming to be completely transported. yes i think the characters are realistic because when you read the book it feels like your in the book and your with them.I'd question the spooky-ness of it because as a teenager, I did find it 'scary' in that thriller/mystery way. I first read this book in my English class at school when I was about 14, at first I wasn't too into it, but after the first couple of chapters I really started to like it. The spook aspect of Dracula and the haunting of his legend mixed with children’s imagination and the potential for it to feel so read to them when reading was great! For at the stroke of midnight, something peculiar happens to the door of the linen cupboard next to room l2.
