Synopsis

This is a very direct and personal account of events surrounding the grounding, and subsequent breaking up of the Sea Empress in Milford Haven, Wales in February 1996. Ceri is a fictional 10-year old girl who takes us through the events as she writes her diary. However, the disaster itself and its aftermath are very real and Ceri is representative of many children whose families whole way of life was almost destroyed. Photos and captions combine with the touchingly naive artwork style of new OUP illustrator, Karen Edward. "Year 3" title supports the basic need for different text-types (non-fiction) reading in NLS. "TreeTops" is now branching out into non-fiction, with the same high-quality that the fiction strands enjoy. It includes a full range of non-fiction features, including contents, captions, fact boxes, index, glossary to support your teaching.
