Book Review
buried alive
By Jacqueline Wilson Illustrations by Nick Sharrat and Sue Heap Published by Corgi Yearling (ISBN 0-440-86367-8)	.
'Buried Alive' is the new sequel to 'Cliffhanger' I liked this book a lot and I think that Jacqueline Wilson did quite well writing it. However, it is not her best book and she can write better things. I did like it though. All the way through, the chapters began with first Tim's diary and on the page after Biscuits' diary so you had a rough idea of what was going to happen. The chapters were not very long, but Jacqueline Wilson is such a good writer for children that she has the ability to pack an awful lot into a small chapter, some authors can not do that. This is why she is such a good writer.
It starts when Tim and his family get to go to a place called Llanpistyll (a Welsh word, you say it thlan-pe-stith) Tim is told he can bring a friend. He chooses to bring Biscuits, the boy he met on his adventure holiday that he went to last year! He soon runs into trouble because a boy who they nick-named 'Prickle Head' and his friend 'Pinch Face' is after them. While Tim is there he meets his girlfriend Kelly. Together, can they stop Prickle Head? Read this book and find out! This book is very easy and I would recommend it to ages 5 and onwards. Iestyn Evans July1999
