Room 13

Product Information

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.

The language used encapsulated the theme well, and the suspense building throughout was believable. Robert Swindells was born in Bradford in 1939, the eldest of five children. 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. 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?The book itself is about a group of tennagers who go on a schooltrip to Whitby and stay in a hotel. The main protagonist (Fliss I think) realises there is no Room 13 except at Midnight when a cupboard transforms into it. (Kind of reminds me of Toms Midnight Garden for some reason. Like I said I have a thing about the number 13). In the book there a ton of other mysterious and spooky(?) things apart from the room itself. Most of it points to the most infamous vampire in literature - as the setting suggests. yes i think the characters are realistic because when you read the book it feels like your in the book and your with them. 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 (film) (German Zimmer 13), 1964 West German adaption of the Wallace novel directed by Harald Reinl Room 13 is a Gothic-horror children's novel written by the acclaimed award-winning children's author Robert Swindells. Published in 1989, it was awarded the Red House Children's Book Award. [2] The novel centres around a group of friends on a school trip, who stay in a creepy guest house on Whitby's West Cliff. 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 great pace and a lovely story line, although it seems like it’s taken me almost 24 hours to actually read it, I think it took 4 when actually squishing the minuets together! But to review…There is no room thirteen in the creepy Crow’s Nest Hotel, where Fliss and her friends are staying on a school trip. And something is happening to Ellie-May Sunderland, too – something very sinister . . . Seriously though, it is an amazing read and I definitely recommend it to any YA readers. 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. Every English lesson I became very excited to continue with the book. It has been a favourite of mine for a long time. 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. 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

a girl called fliss had a scary dream.then when she goes on the trip all the things in her dream start comming true.they spy on ellie-may because they thought she was in trouble. I like when one charecter called fliss what triying to find out what was happening and why every night the number 13 was coming on the door bt in the morning there was no number on the door.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.
