All Aboard Level 12-14

All Aboard is a lively and imaginative poetic journey in which Kate and her friends transform Grandpa's grounded boat, The Queen of Spain, into a vessel of adventure. Told from a first-person perspective, this story celebrates the power of imagination and co-operative play. The poetic structure is brought to life with rich descriptive language, action verbs, rhyme, and sound blends, encouraging expressive reading and visualisation. As the children œsail to Spain, the text invites readers to join the fantasy and dream big. Dialogue drives the narrative, and the repetition of -ing verbs and contractions enhances fluency. With themes of leisure, adventure, and transformation, the story inspires creative writing and imaginative thinking. It's ideal for small-group reading or poetry workshops and supports visual literacy through vivid illustrations.
