Splatt could not have imagined that a simple quest to find colour would reveal its true essence!

Splatt, an adolescent water drop, lives in Sea Drop Village on the ocean floor at a depth where water has absorbed all colours of light spectrum, and everything appears grey. He is curious and somewhat rebellious; and struggles to blindly accept the authoritarian dogma he is taught – from the dangers of entering the open ocean, to a required unyielding reverence to Thunder God his creator, and finally the threat of death by painful evaporation should he rise to the surface. But most of all he refuses to accept that colour does not exist.

Splatt becomes preoccupied with the fabled Colourland and convinces his girlfriend Lara to set out under the cover of darkness to find it. But only meters into their quest they get separated by strong currents and carried in opposite directions. Both know the only way to reunite is to find Colourland. But the ocean is vast and home to diverse Drop Species that are often hostile.

Success seems increasingly unlikely and at times impossible. The Question is: is colour found in the journey, the destination, or beyond?

It's the early 1600s, and the streets of Italy are bustling. But Michelangelo Galilei, the much younger brother of well-known Italian philosopher and scientist Galileo Galilei, feels lost in the crowd. It seems as though Michelangelo has nothing in common with his older brother. Michelangelo spends countless hours practising his lute, while his brother seems to spend all his time testing long-held scientific beliefs. Then Galileo improves a small telescope, opening up a whole new world to them both. But will it be enough to fill the expanse between them?

Creative Writing Examples Book 2 presents 11 plus students with a variety of high-quality, creative writing pieces, written by their peers in preparation for their exam. This book is designed to address the key elements of the 11 plus creative writing exam, using real creative pieces as examples. It contains 33 questions and extracts reflective of independent and grammar school exams, varying from fictional pieces that are full of colourful descriptions and interesting characters, to non-fictional letters and essays. These examples are a brilliant tool for your child to use in preparation for the exam. In the creative writing exam, your child could be given a range fiction or non-fiction briefs, a visual stimulus, a piece of text from which they have to continue the story, or an essay title. This book is divided into distinct sections, with a number of example pieces in each. Examining these extracts and completing the accompanying activities will give your child a better understanding of what is required of them in the exam. Alongside these activities, each story is partnered with a checklist and space for your child to write feedback. The checklist provides a list of what a good piece of creative writing should include, or what examiners are commonly looking for and rewarding, while the feedback creates your child's own list of what works well and what could be improved. Each section ends with an exam question for your child to put into practice what they have learnt, as well as teacher's comments to provide an insight into a marker's mind.

Each book contains 32 weeks of work, arranged into four units. Seven weeks of each unit begin with a new ‘Skill Focus’, addressing a key language concept. Each day, the first two questions will reinforce and consolidate this language concept. The rest of the daily questions will cover common skills of English.
