Former Children's Laureate Michael Morpurgo needs no introduction. He is one of the most successful children's authors in the country, loved by children, teachers and parents alike. Michael has written more than forty books for children including the global hit War Horse, which was made into a Hollywood film by Steven Spielberg in 2011. However, if you would like to refer to the text, in chapter 7, we discover the mischievous old ghost (Sir Walter) sets about restoring the family’s fortune, while all the time Bess has to try to keep the presence of a ghost in the house a secret. Sir Walter comes up with his own scheme to steal the orb from the Crown Jewels to help raise money for the farm.Lower Attainers - worksheet with two columns: writing frame, two columns: Similarities and Difference, plus word bank with key vocabulary. Several of his other stories have been adapted for screen and stage, including My Friend Walter, Why the Whales Came and Kensuke's Kingdom. Michael has won the Whitbread Award, the Smarties Award, the Circle of Gold Award, the Children's Book Award and has been short-listed for the Carnegie Medal four times.

The family are given a large sum of money as a reward for finding them, and with that money, they buy another farm. Walter was right you see. Everything did turn out all right!
