Carnival

A further 12 Treetops titles in Oxford Reading Tree's series of fiction with built-in progression for pupils aged 7 to 11. Specially written for children who need the support of carefully monitored language levels, the stories are accessible, motivating, and humorous. The series is organized
into Oxford Reading Tree stages (from Stage 10 to Stage 16), with each stage introducing more complex narrative forms, including flashbacks and changes in viewpoint; descriptive writing; extended reading vocabulary; and more pages, more text, and fewer illustrations.

Pack E features six new stories at Stage 15, and six stories at the new Stage 16. The Stage 16 stories are real children's novels with an increased level of challenge, up to 144 pages in length.

Reviews

[Iker · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book was about a girl that had a neighbour that died. When he died he told the girl that he had a present for her. Then, she went to find her dead neighbour´s nephews. When she found them she had a big surprise. Max (the dead neighbour) gave the boat to them. She gave them a hug and entered the boat for the night. There was a crack. People robbed something. The girl and the nephews rushed there and found the key. The next day, they were eating until the girls mum appeared.They talked.
With the key they found a box and opened it. There was a safe code. they found the safe and opened it with the code the wrong way round.They saw something with the girls favorite colour.she broke it and saw a boat for her own.
