Beyond the Imagination: Comprehension Exercises Ages 11-13 UK English

By Heidi Laubscher

Shortly after his twelfth birthday, Tommy Baxter's life takes on a whole new dimension when a strong gust of wind sweeps him up from a beach and blows him out to sea. After being transported to a wondrous underwater world, he learns that his efforts to travel beyond his imagination have finally succeeded. Although on his return he is disappointed to discover that his twin sister has already enjoyed multiple experiences beyond her imagination, Tommy wastes no time in preparing for thrilling adventures of his own, including witnessing the downfall of the Minoans, saving the crew of a spaceship, retrieving a queen's diamonds in the guise of a musketeer, encountering a feral child in the Saharan desert, spying for MI5, being sawn in half during a magic show, teaming up with his twin to solve a mystery, taking part in an ancient ritual in Japan, enjoying the successes and downfalls of being in a popular boy band, helping to save the world as superhero Silk Man, and visiting his home city in 2054.

Often drawing on real people, places and events, Beyond the Imagination takes the reader on an exciting and informative journey. The story is divided into twenty-two chapters, each ending with an exercise designed to evaluate the following skills: parts of speech, figures of speech, phrases and clauses, proverbs and idioms, tenses, direct and indirect speech, punctuation, active and passive voice, synonyms and antonyms, synopses, research, and deduction. Memoranda are provided for each chapter at the end of the book.
