Dusk

Nobody knows about Firebird and her family. They live completely isolated lives on the edge of the city, tucked away in the wilderness. They never leave it, not even to go to school, and they never ever talk to strangers. The day Firebird starts breaking the rules, everything changes. Now she doesn't know what's true and what's not any more. What she does know is that letting out the family secrets will bring death and destruction on all their heads. But maybe, just maybe, it could open the door to freedom.

TreeTops True Stories are exciting, motivating non-fiction books which will broaden your pupils' reading experience. They are part of a structured reading programme for juniors. This is a very moving story about a young boy in Victorian times, who is press-ganged into going to sea. The grammatical error in the title is a talking point in itself, as it is derived from his letter home where he tries to account for his actions. Walter Claridge soon learns that he has been betrayed into giving up his freedom to become no better than a slave in a frightening world of heaving seas, cruel masters, and the loss of his only friend. The story does have a happy outcome for Walter, but should serve as a useful illustration of a depiction of Victorian childhood that is not often known. This book is also available as part of a mixed pack of 6 different books or a class pack of 36 books of the same Oxford Reading Tree stage. Each book pack comes with a free copy of invaluable teaching notes.
