Room 13

Product Information

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! 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 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. The backdrop of the school trip will remind anyone of the trips they took while at school, from the coach trip to being allocated rooms to sneaking around at night. Un horror per ragazzini (come età di lettura non andrei oltre gli 11/12 anni) che mi ha ricordato un po’ la serie dei “Piccoli Brividi” (come anni mi sa che ci siamo).

There is no room thirteen in the creepy Crow's Nest Hotel, where Fliss and her friends are staying on a school trip.

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 book shows a snapshot of an 'old school' attitude to pupils which was not hidden at the time, but reading it now, 30yrs later, it is quite shocking. He left the local Secondary Modern School at fifteen to work as a copy holder on the local newspaper. In 1994 he won the Carnegie Medal for STONE COLD (Hamish Hamilton), a teenage novel about a serial killer. I didn't like when Fliss had that drem about the room because I think it gave it away, but antherwise it was amazing.

I think I would recommend this book to 12 and 13 year olds, because I like they would have the same experience that I had. 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. Fliss begins observing strange events in the hotel at night, and becomes determined to get to the bottom of what is going on.

Peccato per il finale un po' affrettato, mentre libri di questo genere si reggono molto sulla suspense. Without these cookies, we won't know if you have any performance-related issues that we may be able to address. A livello di narrazione, sfrutta bene le atmosfere e il mistero legato agli eventi che scombussoleranno Fliss, la protagonista. Fliss and her friends attempt to unravel the mystery of the room, and determine the identity of its sinister inhabitant.

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. Our resources are crucial for knowledge lovers everywhere—so if you find all these bits and bytes useful, please pitch in. Persino le scene finali sono ben pensate e costruite, arrivando a un climax compatto e adrenalinico.
