Buried Alive!

by

Jacqueline Wilson
Illustrator: Nick Sharratt and Sue Heap

In this hugely enjoyable sequel to Cliffhanger, only child Tim and his fun friend Biscuits join Tim's rather strait-laced parents for a holiday in Wales.

 

Everything goes well until until two bullies, known as Prickle-Head and Pinch-Face, decide to spoil the boys' fun. Hand-written entries from Tim and Biscuits' diaries open each chapter, charting the mounting tension as their relaxing holiday turns into a lively adventure, and Tim tries to avoid the bullies, cope with his over-protective mum, and keep the peace between his girlfriend - the extrovert Kelly - and Biscuits.

 

This humorous tale sensitively highlights issues such as friendship and bullying.

    Nick liked drawing from an early age. 'When I was nine,' he says, 'a picture that I'd drawn at school was pinned up in the hall, and the husband of one of the teachers saw it and offered me five pounds to do a similar picture for him. That's when I decided I was going to be a professional artist one day! I nearly always drew in felt tip pens then, and I liked drawing big crowd scenes. I'd start in the bottom left-hand corner of the paper and just let the picture grow, telling myself stories about each of the characters in turn as I drew them.'
