CRASH! BOOM! HISS!

Congratulations to Charlie from Tollgate Junior School in Eastbourne on this swash-buckling piece of writing inspired by Treasure Island by Robert Louis Stevenson. Charlie’s imaginative and exciting twist on this Puffin Classic was the winning piece of writing submitted for the LendMeYourLiteracy Picture of the Day competition.  Young writers were asked to write their own adventure story using the Puffin Classics’ cover of Treasure Island as inspiration.  This is Charlie’s winning story…
