All of Arthur Ransome's "Swallows and Amazons" stories are good but "Pigeon Post" is the one that won the big Carnegie Medal. Can you sail away with a prize as well ?

"Secret Water"

"Secret Water" is my favourite Swallows and Amazons book - just behind "We Didn't Mean to Go to Sea". I think maybe I just like mud!

The boats in the Swallows and Amazons books are as much stars as the children. These questions are all about the boats and sailing.
It's not easy, unless you're as passionate about boats and sailing as the children were!
