A Midsummer Night`s Death

The novel " A Midsummer Night`s Death " deals with relationship, first love, growing up and the death of a teacher. In our opinion it tells a very nice and interesting story, which contains some funny and ironic parts. A negative aspect is that the parts about the climbing are a bit long-winded and very detailed. We think too, that the author has a good way to show the thoughts and feelings of the main character, called Jonathon, by using first person narration. To sum it up we could say, that it is an exciting story, which is pleasant to read for younger people....

A midsummer night's death

The book "A Midsummer Night's Death" , written by K. M. Peyton is about the mysterious death of Mr. Robinson, a teacher of a boarding school. One student, Jonathan, was the last one who saw him talking to Mr. Hugo, another teacher. But not the whole story is about that. Peyton mixed it with a love story. Not only one between a man and a woman, but a student and his teacher. It's quite exciting, because at the beginning you don't know if Jonathan told the police what he had seen or if he kept it a secret. Therefore we couldn't stop reading the book. When we knew that, the love story between Jonathan and a girl, who had loved the dead Mr. Robinson got more and more interesting. (Andrea Leitsch, Ellen Oswald)
