. Based on a story he had originally made up for his own children, and later read to his form, it explained how a group of reindeer earned their first holiday when one of them, Dasher, won a horse race.<\/p>\n
Peter McNiven, former Head of Art at Cranleigh School, produced some delightful and humorous illustrations.<\/p>\n
Many readers said that they had enjoyed the story but wanted to know what happened when the reindeer did<\/strong> go on holiday. Our Middle School Book Club have just read and reviewed Colin’s recently published sequel, Dash to the Rescue<\/strong>,<\/em> which tells how the reindeer went to camp by the sea.<\/p>\n\n They discover a small railway, which has recently closed. Mr Truckle, the railway\u2019s owner, cannot afford to repair the engine, and his young son, Daniel, is suffering from a mysterious illness. Donder and his fellow reindeer set out to try to solve these problems.<\/p>\n It is set in a real seaside village on the edge of Snowdonia where there is a holiday cottage, still owned by a former CPS family. The small railway and ferry also still operate.<\/p>\n Below are some fabulous reviews written by pupils in the Middle School Book Club:<\/p>\n\n\n Dash to the Rescue<\/strong> has again been amusingly illustrated by Peter McNiven.<\/p>\n The book costs \u00a35 and can be purchased from the School Reception desk, either by cash or cheques made out to C D Henderson. All proceeds will go to the Hydon Hill Cheshire Home where former Deputy Head, Stella Gravill, is devoting much of her invaluable time. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" .
