This resources includes a 2-page short story to go with Harris Burdick’s ‘Mr Linden’s Library’ picture and the phrase descriptor: ‘He had warned her about the book. It was too late…’ . The story is designed to meet writing objectives for Year 6, including semi-colons for lists and semi-colons to separate main clauses, dashes for parenthesis and ‘dialogue to move a story forward’ . The story has lots of use for inference and prediction; children could write an epilogue showing what happened to the main character.
The boxed-up plan is a good prompt for children to plan their own chilling mystery story, where the main character disappears and is never seen again.

Really wonderful model text- lots of Year 5/6 grammatical features and a great story. The class gasped at the end :) This saved me a lot of time creating my own story!
