D) Can you create a new shop for Herbert and Violet to visit on their adventure in Eerie-On-Sea. What kind of shop is it? Who is the owner? What do Herbert and Violet do there? How does their visit affect the story? Use the template to tell us all about your shop!

Try to think of lots of possible shops before you design your own (food, specialist supplies – e.g. fishing, hairdresser, chemist, vet, newsagent, clothes etc.) as well as reasons for Herbie and Violet to visit (to buy food/bait to lure the Malamander, wetsuits to explore the shipwreck, a torch to snoop around a suspicious part of town, a camera to capture evidence, antiseptic cream to treat a Malamander scratch etc.)

If you don’t have a printer, don’t worry, you can just draw and write about your shop on a piece of paper.
