Flipped - Reading Group Notes

Get your middle grade readers talking Dickens and what they’d do if they were (literally!) stuck in a book with Flipped! by Philip Caveney and these handy reading group notes.

From acclaimed children’s author, Philip Caveney, comes this exciting middle grade title, taking you back to Dickensian times. Set against the backdrop of Covid, this adventure story is equal-parts sensitive and captivating, undercut with good humour.

During a long, lonely summer, Flip explores the mysteries of the nearby marshes. When he stumbles upon an abandoned Victorian house, he quickly discovers not everything is as it seems. As Flip realises he is trapped inside the page of a famous book, and the strange people he meets are convinced he’s someone else, he must work with faces old and new to stop this story becoming his new reality.
