Question

1. Read the given book “Room 13" and jot down the review on it.​

Answer 1

I first read this novel as a nine-year-old, and then insisted on reading it to my brother. He has since read it to both of my nephews. For a child, it gives a delicious thrill. Swindells is a very effective horror writer. More importantly, for me, he gets the dialogue pitch perfect for children. 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. This is a great novel as well for reluctant readers, because it is written directly and simply. Very recommended for middle grade readers.
