Er waren zoveel verdachten, al kon ik er al een paar van mijn lijstje halen. Ik vond het leuk om met Alex en Lenny door de trein te lopen op zoek naar hints en mijn lijstje zo aan te passen. Uiteindelijk moet ik zeggen dat ik dader niet had geraden, of in ieder geval… nee dat zou een spoiler zijn en dat wil ik niet. 😛

Keep in touch

This leads me to my other problem, which is that Lenny is basically a pointless character. She jumps to the Red Herring conclusion and then the kids have no other conversation about it being someone else, never look into anyone else. And then, she's separated from Hal at the integral point - never gets curious about the obvious clue she has access to (that Hal eventually uses to solve the mystery), which btw is *very* out of character for her. I expected her to have gone through everyone's luggage. Hal doesn't talk to her about his suspicions, he never consults her etc... He just swoops in, says "I know who did it, you'll see..." and then goes on to solve the case. Este spre sfârșitul vacanței de vară, mama lui Harrison (Hall) urmează să nască, așa că părinții decid ca el să-și petreacă petreacă puțin timp cu unchiul lui, spre dezamagirea lui.

I finished the book thinking, if I ever wondered if you could take a Watson/Hastings character and successfully blend them with a Mary Sue/Damsel in Distress trope now I know you can. Not that I'd ever wondered that. Or wanted that. I feel like the useless "partner" who just follows the detective around for narration purposes is a trope we've long outgrown and I'm confused why it was put into this book. What was Lenny's purpose? Train things? The story either needed Lenny to be a more involved detective (which would have matched her personality better) or leave her out. Firstly, this book feels like a love song to all the train lovers. I do not like trains but you can tell from reading this book that the author truly loves trains, passionately. By the end of this book, even I fell in love with trains just by reading this book. 😂 Hear whispers in the dining car, find notes in the library, and unknown passengers among the luggage as you help Harrison to solve the mystery aboard one of the world’s grandest trains. Even though the mystery was predictable, I absolutely enjoyed how the two kids solved the robbery. The two kids are so pure and precious, and also incredibly smart and brave. The friendship between Harrison and Lenny was so genuine and real, I felt such warmth in my heart by seeing how much the two would do for one another. First stop is The Highland Falcon Thief, a breathless train journey full of deceptions, puzzles and clues to solve.Big Ideas for Young Thinkerswritten by Jamia Wilson, illustrated by AndreaPippins (Wide Eyed Editions) This March the LoveReading team launched this year’s LoveReading4Kids #PoetryPrize with an extra-special poetry workshop by award-winning poet Joshua Seigal.

The Association recognises the significance for effective language and communication learning of literature, drama, the visual media, non-fiction texts and information technology, as well as welcoming approaches to teaching which draw on the resources of a wide range of cultures and which are informed by a detailed understanding of how literacy and language work. Once again teachers, student teachers and schools across the UK have been shadowing the final judging and are currently involved in voting for their favourites. Their winners were announced live at the virtual awards ceremony on July 1 st. It is also hoped that restrictions will permit a live celebration and presentation of the trophies later in the year
