Room 13

Product Information

L’idea di per sé è funzionale: una gita scolastica, il mistero dell’albergo, un cittadina costiera che nasconde un segreto. A livello di narrazione, sfrutta bene le atmosfere e il mistero legato agli eventi che scombussoleranno Fliss, la protagonista. Persino le scene finali sono ben pensate e costruite, arrivando a un climax compatto e adrenalinico. Fabulous little spooky story! Fliss has a vivid dream the night before her class leaves for a residential trip to Whitby. The dream shakes Fliss up to the point where she doesn’t want to go. But with the light of the next day comes Fliss’ resolve to go and have a good time. This will not be the class holiday she was hoping for. Un horror gotico per ragazzi intrigante e coinvolgente, capace di catturare l'attenzione fin dalle primissime righe. A spooky linen cupboard in a hotel makes Fliss think there's something not quite right happening in the seaside town of Whitby...

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. 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.Fliss is one of the main charcters with her best friend Lisa, there are some boys which are in there to, I would say that they are likable because I liked them. I liked Lisa and Fliss and the boys because it feeled like I was there with them feeling there fears, also like I was feeling the whole experience.

Room 13 by Robert Swindells | Waterstones

Room 13 was really good book. I know I am lil bit older for this book but reading kid's book is always fun, and recently I been fond of them Room 13 was a great story, it was about some school kids about 12 or 13 going on a school trip to Whitby, then they end up going to a stange hotel called The Crows Nest. I would say that the main genre is horror with a bit of imagination in it. 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. This is really cute little book, despite it being a "horror". A horror for children, of course. I wasn't wholly convinced by the dialogue, and I am sadly a bit too old to really care for the storyline, but it was utterly charming to be completely transported. Whitby is almost a second home to me and I was walking down every street and entering every single shop with these children on their little holiday. There is no room thirteen in the creepy Crow's Nest Hotel, where Fliss and her friends are staying on a school trip. Or is there? For at the stroke of midnight, something peculiar happens to the door of the linen cupboard next to room l2. And something is happening to Ellie-May Sunderland, too - something very sinister . . .Access-restricted-item true Addeddate 2019-12-27 15:35:18 Associated-names Riley, Jon, illustrator Boxid IA1756419 Camera Sony Alpha-A6300 (Control) Collection_set printdisabled External-identifier 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. yes i think the characters are realistic because when you read the book it feels like your in the book and your with them. 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…
