|title=Sadie and the Sea Dogs
|author=Maureen Duffy and Anita Joice
|rating=3.5
|genre=For Sharing
|summary=Sadie's mother always said that she was a dreamer, her mind never on what she should be doing. She lives by the River Thames at Greenwich and she loves to spend hours at The Maritime Museum or gazing at Cutty Sark.
''Her class had gone one rainy afternoon''<br>
''When all the houses cowered in the gloom,''<br>
''To the Maritime Museum''.
Her imagination was fired. She'd love to sail the oceans on an ancient sailing ship and went back regularly. One day she fell asleep under a glass case (it's the one where Nelson's Trafalgar breeches are on show) and missed the closing bell and the attendant's warning shout. When she woke (hard floors don't make comfy beds) she was in the midst of an adventure that she could never have imagined in a world of dolphins, pirates, mermaids and treasure.
