None of the children are as compelling, or experience as much change, as those in the earlier books, with the result that - aside from a couple of exciting chapters - it's a rather slow and turgid read.

Maybe I'd go so far as to shoot the tallest children, when appropriate from the eye level of the shortest children. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Titmouse, Teasel, motor-launch, Death and Glory, Flash, Sir Garnet, Dreadnought, Margoletta, Teasel's dinghy, Dr Dudgeon's fishing boat, the Farland's rowing boat, Come Along, ( Grizzled Skipper), Welcome, the Provision Boat (a motor-boat) at Acle, a trawler with a brown topsail running close to the coast they see when they are near Yarmouth and the sea. When you arrive to pick up your boat, you’ll receive plenty of expert tuition from your boatyard staff. Then in the evenings you can visit a local pub or relax on the decking, take in the view and watch the ducks paddle about.There are several line drawings in the book, which are fun to look at and sometimes do help to explain what is going on when the terms used are too nautical. Guests are required to empty the bins, place recycling in the recycling area, clean dishes and strip the beds. The camera zooms in and out, computer tech allowing the near zooms to morph into live action and zoom-outs to morph back to the map, so that we always know where we are. With her brother Richard she had chartered a small yacht, the Teasel, but he had to go off to London to paint portraits of some important Indians. I think this book is a nice bedtime story for kiddos, but whether you are reading it aloud or leaving it to them to read, the reader must be patient and willing to trudge through the deluge of nautical terms.

The two books I have liked far less than the others, however, have been those that feature a higher ratio of adults per adolescent main characters.There are huge lawns for children to romp about, SUPS and kayaks, plenty of board games if the weather turns inclement, as well as table tennis and table football in the children’s loft area.

Straddling the shores of the Klein River Lagoon in the Western Cape, with the Maanschynkop mountains towering ahead, you also have pristine Walker Bay (a famous whale nursery) glittering beyond the dunes.

Perfect for families, featuring a double volume living/dining area with glass doors that open onto a large front veranda, and an upper deck with panoramic mountain and lagoon views.The innocence of the exchange makes your heart ache for something that we humans in grownup, civilized countries have completely lost and will never have again.
