Buried gold door Nina Milton

Title: Buried Gold
Author: Nina Milton
Kind of book: Adventure Explanation of the title: The idea of the title Buried Gold is, the scarp with a thick coating of wild golden yellow daffodils. It’s a beautiful view you have when you look down. Characters: Pete: His friends called him Peter the Brummy, because he comes out Birmingham (Page 5). He likes a bit of excitement and a bit of adventure (Page 7) Sarah: She is the sister from Pete and she is eight years old (page 3). There is not much to tell about here, because she is not much in the story. Phil/ Jon/ Ted: they are the only boys, who are in the same class with Pete and lives in the same town to. They think it’s funny to call Pete a Brummy, because Pete comes from Birmingham. In the very first beginning they are not nice to Pete (Page 5). In the end of the story is Ted the best friend of Pete (page 23). Bill: A man who lives in a big house with a big garden. He is tall, powerful-looking, messy brown hair and his face was lined and brown but he isn’t an old man (page 8/9). He is a Ranger (Page 10). He has a motor, it looks very old and is caked with mud. Time: The time when the story plays is the time where we live in now. You know that, because on page 3 can you read about what sort of things you can do in Birmingham. All that things are things we have now in the same time.
Settings: United Kingdom, because Pete lived in Birmingham and moved to Lynton in New Forest and that is in the United Kingdom (Page 3/4). My opinion: It is a nice book, because you don’t know what’s coming next. You can’t expect what is happening in the book. As the end of the story, you think that they are going to find real gold. Bill has never said it was real gold, but you think is, because he said something about buried gold. On the end you know that Bill meant the beautiful wild gold yellow daffodils on the scarp. I think it is an easy book to, because the words are not difficult and the story is easy to understand. Summary: Pete, Sarah (his sister) and his parents are moving to another place to live. The left Birmingham and are going to Lynton a little town in New Forest. The are moving because the father of Pete has been promoted, he is going to boss over a whole region. In the very first beginning Pete doesn’t like moving to another place, because he don’t want to lose all his friend. Another thing is he liked Birmingham a lot because there is always something to do. When Pete doesn’t know what to do in the new house, he is going out. He is looking around in the town. Then he heard his name and saw some boys from his class. They call him Brummy, because he is from Birmingham. They where doing weird and want to smashing a can. Pete say some thing to them back. Then they want to come after him, the run and run. Pete is a lot faster, last year he was the fastest in his year. When he was out of the village they give up. He was looking around and he was going in to the forest. He walked an our and then he see a big garden and a house. Then is coming a men out of the house and ask what he is doing. The man who called Bill, is taking him inside. They drink a cup of tea and talk about a few things. Bill said he can see gold in the beginning of the summer, when he looks out the window. Pete thinks it real gold. Pete must go home, because he to late when he is going to walk. Bill want to bring him home with the motor. In the beginning of the summer Pete is going to Bill again. He is going to show his new metal detector. He is going to ask how to find the gold, where Bill was speaking about the last time. Then Bill said he is already rich and he said to look down.
