This book is about
There are two children named Tom and Ruby. They lived near the beach and in winter when everyone had left the beach in winter they would go to their hidden caves. Until one day when a gang moved in. Ruby wouldn't go without a fight but Tom wouldn't let her incase she got hurt. They decided to make a plan to get it back. They found some driftwood, took it home and painted it to say danger falling rocks, cliff path closed. The next day the gang saw it and Tom and Ruby thought that they'd gone but they hadn't. They tricked them by getting ropes, hanging from them and throwing stones at them. Next they tried to stop them by getting seaweed, putting it in the entrance of the cave and when the gang came they flooded the cave with them in it! They came home and when they were home their mum shouted at them for going to the the beach in such cold weather. At night Rosie woke Tom and painted this is our cave now!!!! All other gangs-keep out!!! Suddenly Ruby fell down the cliff and grabbed onto a branch. Tom ran to the gang's house and they came to help Ruby and got Ruby to safety. They asked them to join their gang and they said ''yes''. THE END.
