We Didn't Mean to Go to Sea

---

"We Didn't Mean to Go to Sea" is a gripping maritime adventure adapted for upper-intermediate English language learners that tests the courage and resourcefulness of four siblings. The story follows the Walker children—John, Susan, Titty, and Roger—who are given permission to stay on a small sailboat called the Goblin while it is anchored in a quiet river. However, when the anchor drags and a thick fog rolls in, the children find themselves drifting out into the North Sea in the middle of a storm. Without an adult to help them, they must work together to navigate the dangerous waters and reach the coast of Holland. This Stage 4 reader explores themes of responsibility, teamwork, and the transition from childhood play to real-world survival.
