Trespass – School Journal Level 3 August 2019

Jordie is hanging out with his friend Raj when his younger brother Jess suggests that they join him for a bike ride at the reserve. Jordie grudgingly agrees, but it’s clear that there’s some tension in the air, at least from Jordie’s side. In the bush, they come to a “No Trespassers” sign. With varying degrees of bravado, the boys climb over the fence, but then they are caught by the disgruntled property owner. It’s Jess who saves the day, winning over the property owner and impressing Raj with his quick thinking. The story ends with Jordie quietly grappling with his negative emotions.
