The story begins as Oliver Twist is born and immediately becomes an
orphan, destined to grow up in the workhouse. Life is hard for
Oliver. When he draws the short straw with the other boys and asks
for more food, Oliver is taken from the workhouse to work as an
apprentice undertaker. Unfortunately the undertaker's other
apprentice takes exception to him, and goads Oliver into a fight.
Oliver is locked in the basement and decides his only option is to
run away to London. Children will discuss what conditions were like
in Victorian workhouses and explore Oliver's character - suggesting
words to describe him, and giving reasons for their choices. Part
of the Bug Club reading series used in over 3500 schools Helps your
child develop reading fluency and confidence Suitable for children
age 10-11 (Year 6)
