  In the Variety Stage 9 books, Elisabeth Beresford describes adventures on Riduna Island in Pirate Gold , Tommy in Trouble , and Tessa on TV . Riduna is normally a quiet little island, but on three occasions, there is a big story to tell. Joan Aiken retells folk tales of a wise girl who wins herself a king, a young man who finds himself a useful servant, and a very kind girl who finds herself in trouble, but has her kindness repaid. Variety books support and extend the reading skills acquired from reading Duck Green School Stories . They are divided into consolidation stories ( Pirate Gold , Tommy in Trouble , Tessa on TV ) and extension stories ( The Wise Girl , Serve Me , Stefan , and Helena and the Wild Man ).
