COMPULSORY READERS
1st term: due date by the end of November. CHOOSE ONE (only one) out of these two readers:
- A Convict's Tale, by Julie Hart. Burlington Books, Activity Series.
England in 1797 is a hard place for poor people. Ann Telford, 14, and her brother William, 11, are imprisoned in Durham Jail. Her crime? Stealing food for her brother and herself. Conditions in the jail are terrible and the children are sentenced to seven long and difficult years there. Then, Ann's fortunes change and she finds herself on a ship bound for Australia with other convicts. Ann has got an unusual skill for a girl at that time - she can read and write. How will this help her in the New World?
- Dracula, by Bram Stoker. Burlington Books, Activity Series.
A young English lawyer called Jonathan Harker enters the terrifying world of the vampire Count Dracula. As he is travelling to Dracula's castle on legal business, he is warned by the locals not to go there because evil things will happen. But Jonathan ignores the warnings and arrives at the castle, unprepared for the nightmare ahead. When Jonathan discovers the identity of the mysterious Count, he knows that he is in danger. He realises that he has become a prisoner in the castle and that Dracula must be destroyed. And the war of good against evil begins...
2nd term: from December till the end of January. CHOOSE ONE (only one) out of these two readers:
- A Sense of Danger, by Tracy Simmonds. Burlington Books, Original Series.
Jody and Jonathan Kelly, 16, come to Spain because of their father's new job. Jonathan is telepathic and has got a bad feeling about this change. At the airport, the twins meet Rafa and her sister, Blanca, and they become friends. Two suspicious men have revolvers on the plane. Jonathan has a sense of danger and it gets stronger in their new home. Then Mr Kelly is falsely accused of sabotage. The twins must help him prove his innocence, but how?
- Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, by Robert Louise Stevenson. Burlington Books, Activity Series.
What can a person do when he's pulled between the good and the bad inside him? Set in Victorian London, Dr Jekyll, a scientis, uses chemistry to divide himself into two different people, the good Dr Jekyll and the evil Mr Hyde. But this does not make his life any simpler. Instead, the conflict between the two sides of his personality becomes more and more violent. Which side will win?
