Midnight Pirates by Ally Kennen
Synopsis Setting- Dummity Bay, Cornwall Cal, Miranda and Jackie live with their parents in ‘The Dodo Hotel’ on the edge of the beach. The children are sent to boarding school when their parents go away to America BUT things begin to happen when the children decide to run the hotel by themselves and not go away to school….. ….. strange guests who aren’t who they seem ……a ship grounded on the beach but not by accident …… Jackie captured !
Suggestions for follow up work.. • Dairy entries from the perspective of the different children • Character studies including work on stereotypes. • Descriptive work on settings • Formal letter to the children’s boarding school. • Newspaper reports of the events that happen in the story. • Links with any work on the coast [ Summer visits out]
