Chapter one
To Grandma's house
The day finally came to go to Grandma and Grandad’s house in the countryside. Matilda was wondering what to pack. Her Dad called out from the kitchen “Tilly please come here”
“Coming daddy” she called back, Matilda went to her Dad
“yes dad”, “darling we are going to leave here at quarter to four, please go and pack your bags”. Matilda skipped happily back down the hallway and excitedly packed her bag with her pjs ,her toiletries, her teddy bear, clothes and lots more.
Matilda went to Beth’s house because Beth was taking all the children to their grandparents house. When she got there Jack was playing with Alex and they had their bags in the front of the house. Alex and Jack were all ready. Alex said bye to his Mum and Matilda hugged her Dad. They set off because it was a half an hour to get there. They finally got there and their Grandma was coming out to see them. She hugged Beth and said "hi darling how are you?“ “ good thanks Mum ” Beth said. Then she said goodbye and went home.
The children started five relaxing weeks without their parents bossing them around because their Grandma and Grandpa were quite soft on them. Matilda, Jack and Alex unpacked their bags. Matilda was so excited to do some sewing with her Grandma because her Dad was not a good sewer and her Mum, well she didn't see her Mum a lot because she was always at work. Now she had someone to talk to, or if she was stuck her Grandma helped.
On the other hand her cousins were with her Grandpa helping him clean up the wood so they could start making some toys to sell at the Sunday market. They wanted to earn some pocket money to spend. Their Grandpa was very talented in woodwork and back in the day when he was at high school
he received many awards. He even made their very own kitchen table and chairs.
It was time for tea and Matilda was helping her Grandma set the table and dish up tea. Her Grandma gave her a job, she told her to go and tell her cousins and Grandpa to come and set up for tea. So she went to her Grandpa's workshop, “Grandpa, Alex , Jack time for dinner!” she called "okay Tilly we will be there in a minute" her Grandpa replied. Jack asked ”Tilly what’s for tea?“ “um I think it is chicken filo pie and then for dessert we are having Paris Brest which is French.
“oh your grandma is very good at making French meals and her pizza is dèlicieux which is French for delicious if you didn't know“ "Ok come on or Grandma will get grumpy" Matilda said. They went to their Grandma and had a delicious dinner. Alex said “Grandma I loved that so much” "thanks Alex" she said. After dinner they had dessert and then Grandma said they could play for five minutes. Following that, Matilda and Jack had to brush their teeth and get into their PJs and then go to bed at 8:00pm. Matilda and Jack went to bed but Alex still had an hour and ten minutes until he had to go to bed, being the oldest. Grandma and Grandpa went to check on them all before they went to bed to find they were all were fast asleep, not a peep from anyone. While grandma fell asleep immediately, Grandpa stayed up a little reading his book.
When his head hit the pillow though, he also fell quickly to sleep.
Chapter two
The Adventure Begins
It was a sunny morning and Grandpa and Grandma were making breakfast when Jack came out with Alex and both of them said at the same time “morning what’s for breakfast?” “you have the option of French toast , cereal, toast, eggs on toast or pancakes" Grandpa replied. Alex wanted cereal and Jack fancied French toast . Matilda woke up and came down to the kitchen, she wanted French toast as well. They finished breakfast and freshened up .
“what are you going to do today children?” asked Grandpa
“well we were thinking could we go exploring around here“ Alex replied excitedly. “well when your parents were little they found this tree that they named "the magic faraway tree, do you know why it was called that? Grandpa asked. "No" the children replied. "Well, let me tell you, in that tree, they found the most magical of worlds, they found the most exquisite fruits of all kinds, and real talking woodland creatures! You wouldn't even believe it!" "okay, whatever Grandpa, sure!" Alex said rolling his eyes.
"Don't believe me? Go and check it out for yourselves" Grandpa smiled. “I have packed you a lunch, be back before three o’clock or I will come and find you" Grandma said. “Ok” they all replied.
They walked to the tree, chatting away together happily when suddenly the tree appeared before them. They were as exited as Chrismas Day. They wandered up to the magical looking tree and there they found a sign on the door it said IRIS.
Chapter three
Meeting IRIS
Alex knocked on the hard polished wooden door with a metal sign on the front in the shape of a kiwi. A soft, clear voice called out “coming!”. As she opened the door, the three children were taken aback by her utter beauty, her long, lustrous chestnut hair, fell perfectly around her beautiful porcelain face. “Hello can I help you? she asked politely “well we are just exploring this marvelous tree and we saw your door. We aren't bothering you are we? Alex asked. “no would you like to come in?” she replied, standing aside to welcome them. “um yes please” said Jack, seeming slightly hesitant. They strolled in to her very purple room.
Matilda was so overjoyed because purple was her second favourite colour. They all sat down on IRIS’s spongey couch which was purple and creamy white. IRIS offered them a watermelon yogurt toffee lollie. All of the children took one and ate it and they all thought it tasted delicious. IRIS started talking "oh I’m so sorry I forgot to introduce myself, I am IRIS and yes I know I have very long hair’ she said as she reached out to shake the children's hands. "Oh our names are... well... I’m Alexander but I get called Alex and this is Jack and Matilda" he said, pointing to the two children chomping on their lollies. “they are very lovely names" she replied. "Ooh, I'm sorry, I'd completely forgotten, I need to take something to Clover"...
Chapter four
Introducing the other people in the tree
Knock knock Clover opened the door and entered into the living room “oh hello IRIS how are you today? “ “ good thanks what about you?” Clover replied. “oh I’m great did you hear that the land of sweets is up the tree?“ “yay I can get some new sweets for my box “ she squealed. “who are these people with you?“ “oh this is Matilda, Alex and Jack" IRIS said “hello I’m Clover" he said confidently. "Do you want to have a seat Clover?" "Why thank you, here are some cherry apple bo peeps" he said, pulling out an interesting looking lollie from his pocket nd handing it to the children “thanks“ they said cautiously.
"so children do you want to come up to the land of sweets
and try all the lollies in the land?" Clover asked. “What’s it like up in the land? is it safe? “ asked Alex, protective of his cousins. “yes it’s just lollie shops and no harm can happen in the land of sweets" “ok yes we are coming“ Matilda said, leaping up from the couch before Alex could say another word. So Clover, IRIS, Matilda, Jack and Alex went back outside and climbed the ladder to this magical sweet land on a white fluffy cloud. On the way up to the magic land they stopped at all the people's houses in the tree so they could meet all the people that lived there. They met Mrs Tea. They also met the Magic Faraway Tree bunny Popcorn, Chrystal who makes all the clothes for the people that live in the tree ,Polly who sells Mango Meringue cakes (which IRIS says is absolutely delicious) and last but not least, Liam who looks after the tree by
picking all the food that grows on it and watering the plants . After that they finally made it all the way up the ladder that leads to the magic land.
Chapter five
To the Magic Land
They climbed up the navy blue ladder to the land of sweets but all Jack, Alex and Matilda saw was a train station and a little crowd of people standing waiting for the train to arrive. Alex asked Clover a question ”hey Clover where is the land of sweets?“ “ oh I forgot to tell you, we have to catch the train to get to the land of sweets“ “ hmmm that is very interesting“ Jack said, puzzled. They walked very fast up to the station and it had a sign with all the trains coming and going that day.
Train timetable
Names of trains Location Time
Fizzy puff Land of sweets 9:25
Happy train Land of dreams 10:15
Emotional train Land of emotions 11:20
They all went and sat on the little bench on the wooden platform and waited for the Fizzy Puff train to arrive. The train didn’t take long to come and the little group found a seat and sat down. The other people on the train either sat and read or looked out of the window. Matilda sat next to IRIS and Alex sat next to Jack and clover sat next an odd looking man with a large crooked nose and not a lot of hair on his head. People's clothes in this place were also rather peculiar. It didn’t take long before the land of sweets came into view out of the small train window. The little group said thank you to the train driver and went and followed the path that lead to the shops. Matilda whispered to Alex “ Alex do we have any money?“ “yes I always carry some money but somehow I don’t think it will work here" Clover overheard Alex “don't worry over there is a place that you can transfer your money into poppins, our local currency" "okay thanks Clover“ Alex answered.
They walked over to the lady in the shop “Hello how may I help you today?“ “hello could I please swap this money so I can buy some sweets from the shops? “ “ sure “. Alex handed the money to the lady and she passed the transferred money through a slot in the window. They thanked the lady and went to have a look around the shops.
Following the path around, they had to wait because there was such a long line for every store. It seemed everybody wanted to scramble into the wonderful world of sweets. Matilda said “finally we can go in to the land what took so long?” “Matilda where are your manners? just because we're on holiday doesn't mean you don’t use them“ “ yes Alex, sorry Alex “ Matilda grumbled.
They all gathered and decided what they would do first. Clover said “ look there is a nice looking shop with a lady running it let's go and have a look inside “ “that sounds like a good idea“ IRIS agreed. So they walked into the shop and Jack said “ I think this is a Gingerbread Man shop where they design the gingerbread men they sell “ “you sure are right young man" the American lady spoke from her seat at the counter. They all looked at the gingerbread family from Grandpa gingerbread man to the Baby gingerbread man. They all chose one and paid, they thanked the lady Sue and went to sit on a picnic bench.
Chapter six
CLOVER!
Jack tapped Clover on the shoulder “Clover I was wondering if you don’t mind me asking, why are you called Clover?“
“yes sure Jack so it was the night before I was due and my mother Suzanne was packing her bags and she got a message from her mother and it said that her father had passed away from old age and that he wished that he could see his grandson. He asked in the letter if he could send his lucky four leaf clover to his new grandson and then he died. So then my Mum had me the next day and she named me after my grandfather's four leaf lucky clover so from that day on I was called Clover. It turns out my ears formed into a clover shape too! So that is why I am called Clover Davidson “ “thanks Clover I was always wondering that and now I know" Jack smiled.
