The Legend of Spud Murphy
Chapter 5
Writing Challenge:
Summarise the whole story in less than 200 words.
The Legend Of Spud Murphy
Chapter Four
Maybe Will and Marty are starting to realise reading isn't so bad after all and a good book is hard to put down.
Writing challenge:
Write a blurb for the book that Will was reading.
The Legend of Spud Murphy by Eoin Colfer
It seems like Martin has met his match in Spud Murphy. I wonder if he has learnt his lesson or is this the start of an all out war?
Chapter Three Quiz
Writing Opportunity
Write a diary entry as Marty about the trip to the library.
The Legend Of Spud Murphy by Eoin Colfer
I thought the tales and stories about Spud Murphy were exaggerated or made up but on first impressions she does seem like quite a fierce character. Maybe the boys were right to be reluctant to go to the library and for their sake's let's hope they behave.
Chapter Two Quiz
The Legend Of Spud Murphy - Chapter 1 Quiz
As our book is quite short, a new quiz will be added for each chapter each week.
I don't blame Will's parents for sending them to the library after all of the mayhem they've caused. I wonder if Mrs Murphy is as dangerous as Marty claims or is he just trying to get out of going to the library?
