Title: The incredible journey

Author: Sheila Burnford

Publisher: HODDER

ISBN: unknown

Date Finished: 1 April 2007     

This is a great story of survival and determination. It’s about a golden Labrador called Luath, a Siamese cat called Tao and an old bull terrier called Bodger. All life is happy until the trio set off to find their master when he goes on holiday. On their venture they intimidate a bear and her cub, survive a flash flood, defeat immense hunger, nearly kill a farmers guard dog and out smart a lynx. How ever, the threesome wouldn’t have made it if it weren’t for the occasional human assistance of food and shelter. All three animals faced their own perils as the old dog Bodger nearly died of starvation, the young dog Luath also nearly died of starvation and also had an infected cheek after he tried to hunt a porcupine for food. Tao narrowly escaped being a lynx’s lunch and he was also half drowned by a river after a beavers dam broke up stream just as he was crossing the river. It is set around the nineteen-sixties in North America. My favourite part is the part when the cat scratches out the eyes of a curious bear cub interested in eating Bodger and intimidating the cub’s mother when it tries to defend it baby. Over all I would rate it at eight and a half out of ten. This was a great read, it is a bit short though. I would strongly recommend reading this exciting book.

This is a ten minute snipet of what we did on camp.

ONTV

Lights, camera, action. The nervousness kicks in my heart starts to race but I think, all

I have to do is set up my shot and cue on cue. As the count down starts I echo it

“silence in the studio” I proclaimed loudly. “Starting count down” I continued

echoing. “54321″ we were filming. I quickly set up my shot and got ready to cue.

Over my head phones I hear “cue now”. As soon as I heard this I cued.

Afterwards we all watched closely, the story I was doing was first. The screen crosses

over to the interview from the presenter, YES they start perfectly on time thanks to

my cueing skills. We all watch the rest of the show. The stories were great and there

was even a story about a 72 year old streaking at a bouls tournament. We continue to

watch the rest of the show and opps, the weather presenter

points to the wrong places.

Oh well it was still a good show and it was really fun. We all are ready to go back to

camp and eat, shower and go to bed. But when we do get back from camp ill really

enjoy watching the other groups show.
