Oxford Bookworms Library Stage 3 'Who, Sir? Me, Sir?'

K. M. Peyton
Retold by Diane Mowat

STAGE 3 - Human Interest

Sam Sylvester is a teacher who wants his class to have ambition, and to do great things in life. So he enters them for a sporting competition against the rich students of Greycoats School.

The team that he has chosen for the competition think Sam has gone crazy. 'Who, Sir? Me, Sir?' says little Hoomey, his eyes round with horror. 'We'll never beat Greycoats,' the others cry. 'Never in a million years!'

But you don't know what you can do - until you try . . .

Oxford Bookworms Library Stage 3 A Pair of Ghostly Hands and Other Stories

Retold by Diane Mowat

STAGE 3 - Fantasy & Horror

If you wake up in the night and hear a tap running somewhere in the house, what do you do? You get up, of course, and go and turn the tap off. A little later you hear the tap running again. You are alone in the house, and you know you turned the tap off. What do you do then?

The ghosts in these stories all have unfinished business with the living world. They come back from the grave to continue their work, to keep a promise, to look for something they have lost. Sometimes they want to help people, sometimes they want to punish them - or kill them.

Oxford Bookworms Library Stage 3 Australia and New Zealand

Christine Lindop

STAGE 3 - Factfiles

What do you find in these two countries at the end of the world? One is an enormous island, where only twenty million people live - and the other is two long, narrow islands, with ten sheep for every person. One country has the biggest rock in all the world, and a town where everybody lives under the ground; the other has a beach where you can sit beside the sea in a pool of hot water, and lakes that are bright yellow, green, and blue.

Open this book and start your journey - to two countries where something strange, beautiful or surprising waits around every corner.
