in, so that the water was way up, lapping the skirts of the sandy slope. There was barely room to put down our towels and picnic. 'Oh rats rats rats' I said. 'I want to build my castle!' 'Don't say "rats" like that, dear. Now, never mind. You can sit down quietly with Biscuits and read your comics or do some writing in your holiday diaries,' said Mum. 'Never mind, Tim, we can all go for a swim,' said Dad. 'Never mind, Tim, we can maybe have our picnic now instead,' said Biscuits. 'But I wanted to build my castle.' I tried digging in the soft powdery sand of the slope but it was useless. It just slithered and slopped around and wouldn't stand firm at all. 'It's not fair.' 'Oh Tim, don't be such a baby,' said Dad. 'Stop making such a fuss about a silly sandcastle. Let's go for a swim.' 'Are you sure the sea is clean enough? You hear such horrible tales about pollution nowadays,' said Mum. 'It's clear as crystal. You come in too,' said Dad. 'Somebody's got to sit here and mind all the picnic things,' said Mum. 32 Wow! Real diamonds!' I said. Well. Not real real. But they're very good synthetic stones,' Kelly said, tossing her head about so that they caught the light. 'Right. Budge over, Tim. I'll show you how to work these cranes.' Kelly's mum's boyfriend Dave had given her a whole purseful of change. She inserted a coin and started twiddling. She was ace. In a matter of minutes Theresa Troll had a whole tribe of relations: Tracy Troll and Truman Troll and Tabitha Troll and Tyrone Troll and Tilly Troll and Trocadero Troll. Biscuits and Dad and Mum heard Kelly's triumphant crowing as she kept capturing yet another troll. They came over to watch. Then Kelly's mum and Kelly's mum's boyfriend Dave and Kelly's little brother Dean and her baby brother Keanu came and watched too. It got very crowded. I'd have died if everyone was watching me. It didn't put Kelly off a bit. Then all the grown-ups started talking and Kelly's mum's new boyfriend Dave got introduced. He had the most amazing tattoos all the way up his arms. Snakes and flowers and hearts and a lady in a bikini. He could make her waggle when he moved his muscle. 68 A brilliant new adventure for Tim and Biscuits, stars of Cliffhanger, from Jacqueline Wilson, award-winning author of The Suitcase Kid, The Story of Tracy Beaker and Bad Girls. www.kidsatrandomhouse.co.uk Tim can't wait to go on holiday - especially as he gets to bring his friend Biscuits along.

Biscuits was so well padded he didn't hurt himself at all and Dean always managed to land on top of Biscuits so it was just like bouncing on a huge well-stuffed sofa. Kelly and I didn't do much better. My heart sank as she tied our legs together with her mum's scarf. She did it so tightly she cut off all the blood supply to my foot. She looked very determined. Kelly liked to win. I would have liked to win too. But I knew we didn't have a chance. I tried hard to get ready, get steady and go. 'Run!' Kelly commanded. I ran. She ran. But not together. We tripped over. It hurt rather a lot. I wondered if I ought to stay lying there on the grass. 'Get up!' Kelly squealed. I decided to get up. I was barely on my feet before Kelly tore off again. I staggered along beside her for three or four paces, and then tripped again. 'Oh Tim, you're so useless!' Kelly yelled. I agreed with her meekly. 'Look, shut up and get up,' Kelly said sharply. I tried to do as I was told. It didn't work. 150 As well as winning many awards for her books, including the Children’s Book of the Year, Jacqueline is a former Children’s Laureate, and in 2008 she was appointed a Dame.

Buried Alive! (Corgi Yearling) : Wilson, Jacqueline, Sharratt Buried Alive! (Corgi Yearling) : Wilson, Jacqueline, Sharratt

I read this one to my class of Year 3s (7-8 years old) and they really enjoyed it. Especially after I read them the first book on the series, Cliffhanger, they were super excited to find out more about Tim and Biscuits! I did feel like the first half of the book did drag on a little bit, with not much happening it was more for developing characters in my opinion. This is a really enjoyable book because it has some funny bits, especially when Biscuit always talks and thinks about food! Buried Alive is about a boy called Tim who is going on a holiday. He decides to take his friend, Biscuits, who he met on an adventure holiday (Cliffhanger - another book by Jacqueline Wilson) with him! They all set off and there is a mixture of emotions. Tim is in no way sporty and hates any activity he has to do where he moves. He likes exploring, building and seeing new things: not racing, golfing and showing off. Biscuits is in love with food and would do anything - if food comes with him. Despite Tim's horror towards all sports and activities involving exercise, his dad is forceful and makes Tim use these skills and forces Tim to do new sporty things. Whereas Tim's mum, would rather he came traipsing round the shops with her, she knows of his fear of getting things wrong and wants to protect him. The plot is good and there are a minimal amount of twists that make the story interesting. Before each chapter there is a diary entry from both Biscuits and Tim, outlining the chapter ahead. Although this could ruin things for the upcoming chapter, Jacqueline Wilson has done it very well and left people guessing and lets the diary entries just be small hints towards the upcoming events. Biscuits didn't look as if he minded too much either. He was cheerfully chomping up his third sausage. 'We'll go for a little drive, eh?' said Dad. Yes, let's see if we can find a proper shopping centre,' said Mum. 'I was thinking of a scenic country tour,' said Dad. Mum sighed. So we toured the country. And it was very scenic. And very wet. We saw grey sky and grey mountains and grey sea. Biscuits and I got fed up being in the car. But then we saw some people walking in the wet, mud all up their legs. They were huddled under their anorak hoods, water dripping down their noses. Maybe it wasn't so bad in the car after all. We played I Spy. Dad chose C for car and Mum guessed it. Mum chose C for Church and Biscuits guessed it. Biscuits chose C for Cafe and I guessed it. So I wanted to chose a C too, but I couldn't think of one. Then I saw something way in the distance, at the top of a mound. Something I'd studied, though I'd never seen one in real life before. Something that had been standing, grey in the gloom but golden in the sunlight, for hundreds and hundreds of years. 40This is a book about a boy called Tim who goes on holiday with his best friend Biscuit. At the beginning of each chapter each boy writes a diary, and Biscuit's diary is about what he has eaten, as that is his favourite thing to do!
