The Long Walk by Alex Walton (books to read for 13 year olds TXT) 📖

It was the night before the school trip, Adam was excited because they all got told rumours that there was a haunted house in Stroud, and we were going to visit it on a school trip, but there were some students who were scared about going to the house.

“What’s wrong James? Said Mrs Grunt, and he said I’m scared about the haunted house because my parents are from that house, said James and Mrs Grunt said don’t worry about its James everything is fine and just because your parents were involved in the car crash in Bristol doesn’t mean you need to worry. So, he went to find his friend Adam.  But as he went to look for him, he couldn't find him anywhere. Adam, where are you? And there was no answer so, I knew straight away that I had to head to the railway station.  "All Aboard"! So, I quickly jump on the train   and headed towards France but as we arrived in France there was this voice, and it said, James Where are you? and I said I'm over here and he said I was so worried about you I thought you were on the train. We need to head off and go on the long walk. And James said where are we going to end up? 

And he spoke I don't know we will have to find out where the train takes us, so we walk on to the train, and I was panicking because I've never been on the train before. So, the train arrives in Amsterdam, and we got out and started to walk but we had to stop at the ticket office first. Two Tickets for Utah United states please   so we started the walk and walked up the mountain and I could see Adam was getting tired so halfway up the mountain there was a hire a wheelchair centre, so we brought a wheelchair and I pushed Adam up the mountain, and he was so glad for the wheelchair because we can finally begin the walk. And as you know there were no trains going to Utah so of course we had to walk there and that was going to take 450 Hours to get there. So, we arrived at the Harbour, and we knew that we had to swim now back to England and get a plane to New York.  And we must go to London Heathrow Airport.

 We, were on the plane and I could hear one of the passengers screaming and looking out the window as there was smoke seen from the plane window, and I was worried because I thought the plane was on fire and it started to wobble up and down and it was scaring James, but Adam told him not to worry  because everything was going to be fine, and there were no signs that the plane was going to crash. So, James ran up to the back of the plane asked the flight attendant and said excuse me is this plane, okay?
