She;s an ancestor of him, a descendent, and Bess then decides to bring him home with her. The presentation and lesson can be a stand alone lesson, but was made to accompany the book ‘My Friend Walter’ by Michael Morpurgo. The main focus is writing a report about the Crown Jewels, so can easily be adapted without reference to the rest of the story. Another great book by Michael Morpurgo, I’ve always loved his books as they are not only fun but also informative and you learn from them as well as enjoying the story. The family are given a large sum of money as a reward for finding them, and with that money, they buy another farm. Walter was right you see. Everything did turn out all right! David Wood, chair of Action for Children’s Arts, said Morpurgo is “one of our greatest storytellers”.

His work will undoubtedly, like Peter Pan, stand the test of time, making him a truly worthy recipient of this award."

Sir Walter Raleigh laid his cloak in a puddle for Queen Elizabeth I to walk across. Now, Bess meets his ghost and finds out he's her ancestor! How's she going to explain him to her family, especially when he breaks her brother's fishing rod, steals a horse and smokes cigars in her room? Will Sir Walter wreak havoc or save her family's home? About This Edition ISBN: acts in one book. That surely is some talent. Emotional, funny, adventurous I can probably use all those words to describe this book. I liked Will the best. He is really good. This book is amazing it is highly recommended for kids over 6 because it does have some smoking that some parents may not like there children reading when they are six or under. It also may scare some children because there’s a ghost that was executed and that comes up quite a lot in the story. If you like scary and comedy and fantasy then this is your book. A delightfully exciting and witty adventure that interweaves elements of history - Sir Walter Raleigh comes into the present as a ghost and wreaks havoc and fun with a family! - into a fun and gripping story which children will love.
