Good stuff, sad stuff...

Posted 07/05/2012 Filed under My Blog comments 0

Last week started with a great trip to Kingsley Girls' School in Leamington Spa (waves madly at any Kingsley Girls dropping by!) as part of Stratford Literature Festival. Another great thing about last week was taking advantage of my daughter's day off school on Thursday ('cause of voting) to go to the Harry Potter Studio Tour (brilliant).

But then came the weekend, and it was time to say bye to our lovely, lovely old cat Gus. Sniff. He'd been our gorgeous ginger boy for 15 years, after we inherited him and his beautiful bruv Bysshe from a neighbour when they were four.

It's mighty quiet without his morning mioaws!

I fell in love...

...with a book of yours called 'Six Words And A Wish'. I loved the funny stuff, I loved the sad stuff, I loved the characters, I loved the coolness, I love the mystical something in the air... And now – WOW – I want to read all your other books too!

Being Grown-up Is Cool (Not!)

I thought this book was awesome because the language that you have used is exactly what a ten year old would have used. I love the illustrations as well. I thought they were very clever and well thought out to suit the book. I thought the way you got the reader into the life of Indie was really good and how you described Indie for a ten year old. I loved the way you used different font sizes and types to describe a word. Overall I’d give your Indie Kidd books a 9/10 because I think they were excellent and I think you should write more!
