Something Happened in My Street In this unit, you’ll find out how characters cope when faced with different situations and then you’ll write about it.

Arriving at Winklesea There is much excitement as the Kane family arrives at their holiday home – Dolphin caravan.

Then, almost before they knew it, they rounded a bend, and there lay the higgledy-piggledy roofs and chimneys of Winklesea below them, and beyond the wide shine of the sea.

“Oh, magic, magic,” sang Mary. “We’re coming, Winkie, we’re coming!”

“A bit of hush now,” said Mr Kane, “while I find the caravan.”

“Straight to the sea front, Alfred,” Mrs Kane told him, “and then left, to the dunes. That’s what Fred said.”

And so it was. They drew up in a small field beyond the town and could see the caravans tucked among the dunes, three or four of them. They all climbed out and stood in the salt, different air and felt a million miles away from home.

“You go and find ours, Dan and Mary,” their mother said.

“Cream with a brown stripe, Fred said.”

“Fred said Fred said Fred said!” sang Mary. They were off in a flash, in among the dunes, their feet slithering in the soft sand.

“And called Dolphin!” Mrs Kane’s voice floated after them.

They didn’t have to look far. They both spotted it together, cream with a brown stripe, and Dolphin painted in red by the door.

“Oh Dan!” whispered Mary. “Look – we shall see the sea!” from Whatever Happened at Winklesea? by Helen Cresswell
