Buried Alive! by Jacqueline Wilson
3.0
I read this one to my class of Year 3s (7-8 years old) and they really enjoyed it. Especially after I read them the first book on the series, Cliffhanger, they were super excited to find out more about Tim and Biscuits! I did feel like the first half of the book did drag on a little bit, with not much happening it was more for developing characters in my opinion.
Spoiler alert: For example, the actual “buried alive” bits only happen right towards the end. Having said that, I loved the ending. The children and I had some very deep and profound discussions about Prickle-Head’s family and how he was a bully only because his family was a bully! It has important messages that regardless of how someone treats you, you should always treat them with kindness and you’ll feel better yourself for it!
3 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
