About Me
Hi, and welcome to my website. My name is Sam Spiller (shown below with my son at the top of a mountain!) and I am the writer of ‘Evacuee’, a book designed to help children with their reading comprehension.
Evacuee follows two siblings, ten-year-old Olivia and her little brother Jack, who are transported back in time to London during The Blitz. Once there, they embark on a quest to help reunite a kind single mother with her evacuated children. Think Michael Morpurgo meets Malorie Blackman meets Rick Riordan - wholesome historical fiction with strong female role models and a modern, fantasy twist!
Each chapter is accompanied by a 10-mark set of reading comprehension questions that have been closely modelled on previous SATS questions in their content domain weightings and question presentations. The accompanying mark schemes also follow exactly the SATS format.
For further information on these areas of learning, please enjoy the instructional videos on this website.
Thanks,
Sam
