And wow, this one was a hell of a lot darker than the previous ones in the series. They were all funny and slightly absurd but this one was definitely a little bit more grown up. It felt a little bit like some of of the books that Horowitz writes for older teens rather than for younger kids. Still there were moments of levity and Tim is still an absolutely useless older brother but yeah, definitely a lot darker than I was expecting it to be.

When trying to piece together who the killer is, Allison and Dylan receive a phone call from Margot, saying that she has information about the killer but the call cuts off before anything is revealed. This is And Then There Were None meets children fiction and a very dry humour. I’ve finished the Diamond Brothers series with this book, yet another Anthony Horowitz series in the bag.In The Diamond Brothers in… The Blurred Man (2002), the Diamond Brothers investigate the sudden and mysterious death of a charitable philanthropist who suffers chronic allergies that prevent him from meeting almost anyone in person. The book's title and plot is a spoof of the film The Third Man. I Know What You Did Last Summer has captivated fans in recent weeks as its sprawling mystery has been slowly unfurled as new episodes have arrived. The entire series was re-issued in 2007 with new cover art designed by illustrator Martin Chatterton, [2] and again in 2015 illustrated by Tony Ross. These books aren't as well know as Alex Rider, but are by the same author. In this series of adventures, which includes: I Know What You Did Last Wednesday, Public Enemy Number 2, South by South East, The Falcons Malteser, The Blurred Man and finally The French Confection. In The Diamond Brothers in… I Know What You Did Last Wednesday (2002), seven friends, along with the Diamond Brothers, are invited to a remote island for a school reunion. But then the host is found dead, and other people start dying in bizarre ways with no way off the island. The plot itself is a spoof of the Agatha Christie novel And Then There Were None, whilst the title is a spoof of the film I Know What You Did Last Summer.

Dylan’s fate is a win-win for Margot as it means that someone has taken the fall for her crimes while also removing a rival for Allison’s affections. So, I didn’t realise that it had gone past midnight while I was reading this one, but apparently it had because now it’s Friday and I’ve just finished the penultimate Diamond Brothers book. In The Diamond Brothers in… The French Confection (2002), the Diamond Brothers win a trip to Paris thanks to a French strawberry yoghurt, but accidentally get caught up in a drug smuggling ring and end up being forced to team up with the Sûreté to take them down. The title is a play-on-words on the film The French Connection. I Know What You Did Last Wednesday (2002) [ edit ] Anthony Horowitz, OBE is ranked alongside Enid Blyton and Mark A.

Probably the first book I ever read that made me feel genuine fear. Horowitz can definitely write horror (for younglings anyway). In 1991, The Diamond Brothers, a six-part television series written and directed by Horowitz himself, was broadcast on ITV. [14] The series is based on the book South by South East, which Horowitz claimed he wrote after he had written the television series, effectively making South by South East a novelisation of the television series rather than the novel acting as the primary source of inspiration. Both McLinden and Dale reprised their respective film roles, which makes the television series act as a sequel to Just Ask for Diamond. However, unlike the film adaptation, the series has never been released on any home media, and it was also never rebroadcast.

Based on the acclaimed 1973 novel by Lois Duncan, which also inspired the iconic 1997 film, I Know What You Did Last Summer tells the story of a group of teenagers who are involved in a fatal car accident on the night of their graduation which results in the death of Lennon, the twin sister of Allison.

One year later, the group are still haunted by the events of the previous summer while Allison is masquerading as her sister Lennon to avoid arousing suspicion.These teachers’ notes accompany the PRINT ONLY guided reading leaflet in Literacy Time PLUS Ages 7 to 9 July 2008 Armistice Day: A Collection of Remembrance - Spark Interest and Educate Children about Historical Moments Access-restricted-item true Addeddate 2019-12-27 01:22:52 Boxid IA1756014 Camera Sony Alpha-A6300 (Control) Collection_set printdisabled External-identifier The series currently comprises four full-length novels, four novellas and one short story. A fifth full-length novel entitled The Radius of the Lost Shark is being planned. [1] These books are aimed at a younger readership than Horowitz's young adult novels, such as the Alex Rider series and The Power of Five series. While also having a teenage protagonist and featuring guns, fights, international criminals, and numerous character deaths, The Diamond Brothers series has a more humorous slant through the use of puns, pop culture references and absurd situations.
