Treasure Island By:Robert Louis Stevenson
It was longer than the squire imagined ere we were ready for the sea,and none of our first plans-not even Dr Livesey's,of keepig me beside him-could be carried out as we intended.The doctor had to go to London for a physican to take charge of his practice;the squire was hard work at Bristol; and I lived on at the hall under the charge of old Redruth,the game -keeper,almost a prisoner, but full of sea-dreams and the most charming anticipations of strange islands and adventures.I brooded by the hour together over the map,all the details of which I well reembered.Sitting by the fire in tje houekeeper's room,I apporoached that island in my fancy,from every possible direction;I explored every acre of its surface;I climbed a thousand times to that tall hill they call the Spy-glass,and from the top enjoyed the most wonderful and changing prospects.Sometimes the isle was thick with savages,with whom we fought; sometimes full of dangerous animals that hunted us;but in all my fancies nothing occurred to me so strange and tragic as our actual adventures.

The Greek who stole Christmas By:Anthony Horowitz
Tim was the worst private detective in England.I mean...he'd just spent two weeks working in a big department stall in the WestEnd.He was supposed to be looking out for shoplifters but I don't think he'd kept an eye on the ball.In fact,the ball was the first thing that got stolen.After that,things went from bad to worse.The stall had twenty-three departments when he started but only sixteen when he left.He was fired,of course.The dummies in the window probably had a higher IQ than Tim. He was lucky he had me.I sloved the crimes,Tim got the credit.That was how it worked.If you've read my other stories,you 'll know what I'm talking about.If you haven't,go out and buy the books.If you like,I'll even sell you a ten-quid book token.You can have it for nine-quid.

Treasure Island By:Robert Louis Stevenson
And,indeed,bad as his clothes were,and coarsely as he spoke,he had none of the appearance of a man who sailed before the mast;but seemed like a mate or skipper,accustomed to be obeyed or to strike.The man who came with the barrow told us the mail had set him down the morning before at the 'Royal George';that he had inquried what inns there were along the coast,and hearing ours well spoken of,I supppose, and described as lonely,had chosen it from the others for his place of residence.And that wass all we could learn of our guest.

james and the giant peach by Roald Dahl
At this moment,the scene inside the peach itself was one of indescrible chaos.James Henry Trotter was lying bruised and battered on the floor of the room amongst a tangled massof Centipede and Earthworm and Spider and Ladybird and Glow Worm and Old Greeen Grasshopper.In the whole history in the world,no travellershad ever had a more terrible journey than these unfortunate creatures.It had started out well, with muchlaughing and shouting,and for the first few seconds,as the peach had begun to roll slowly forward,nobody had minded being tumbled about a little bit.And when it went BUMP!,and the Centipede had shouted,'That was Aunt Sponge!'and then BUMP!again,and 'That was Aunt Spiker!'there had been a tremendous burst of cheering all round.

But when he looked back at the cliff,there,hanging across the river,was a bridge all ready for
him-made of living monkeys!For while his back was turned,the monkeys-quick as flash-had
made themselves into a bridge, just by holding hands and feet.
