Another great legend is that when Oliver Cromwell became Lord Protector of England in 1653, the Tower’s Lieutenant hid 20,000 gold coins in the grounds which, despite many people’s best efforts, have never been found. But please feel free to look out for them when you’re there! Things that go bump in the night Teach your children to identify dangers and avoid risks. Explain to them that just like in real life they should not talk to strangers or give personal data. This book is one long setup for a series. Nothing else is added to the story. The characters are somewhat interesting. Adventure Zone, which I just read and , has a setup for a series at the end. That way, the world and character are introduced to the reader, making them more invested in the story. The Crown Jewels have been stored and displayed at the Tower of London since 1661, continuing a long tradition of storing precious objects here.One unknown spirit who haunts the White Tower has been dubbed the White Lady. She has been seen waving to children, and people have reported smelling her cheap perfume. The games had to be casual, fun and playable without much training and that meant that we had to reduce the concepts a lot and treat the games as ‘thought starters’, instead of trying to explain complex problems,” says North Kingdom’s Tech Director Daniel Isaakson. “We wanted the games to work without too many instructions since we know most people, including children, skip that and we wanted to reduce the amount of text since the level of reading can differ. We still wanted some story context for the games to point out the game objective and we chose to use a combination of text and voice over.” The Coronation Regalia we see today was recreated for the Coronation of King Charles II: only the Coronation Spoon survives as a relic of the earlier medieval collection. This magnificent world-famous collection of 23,578 gemstones is part of the Royal Collection and boasts items that are still used in royal ceremonies today.

Incredibly in 1957, there was an official archaeological investigation to try to uncover the lost hoard. Once online, always online. Discuss with your children what is appropriate to post or to share online and what isn't. Explain to them that everything they post – comments or opinions – will always be visible to everyone. The internet remembers everything. Even posts on apps such as Snapchat, which are only visible a couple of seconds can be stored and shared by someone taking a screenshot. Tell them this: “Do not post photographs on social media you wouldn't want to see in a frame at your grandmother”. The game presents some complex information in an accessible and engaging format: there are no lengthy descriptions and text is kept to a minimum. Gameplay is easy to master and levels deliver some important lessons about staying safe online. For every picture or video you take consider this: if you would have felt ashamed if your peers had seen such a picture or video of yourself when you were a child or teenager- don’t post it online.

One of the most famous gems in the collection is the opal cut diamond, the Koh-i-Noor which is one of the largest diamonds in the world, weighing in at a massive 105 carats. (As an indication of how big that is, most of us couldn’t even afford a diamond that’s only 1 carat!) The characters are decently developed and Dessa has a lot of history that is presented in this novel . Dessa was fun to read about and full of determination to find her brother. She is helped along by a couple of goofy non-human characters named Topper and Fisk.
