Sam Enthoven Visit

Today, we visited the Samworth Academy to hear the Author Sam Enthoven talk about writing and specifically about his latest book, Crawlers. Crawlers is shortlisted for the Nottinghamshire Brilliant Book Awards. He said he was amazed and excited to have been chosen. Ben, Year 7, said he thought he was a bit crazy but that was probably what made his books so good.

An Overview, or Why it is So Hard to Choose.

I find it very hard to pick a favourite out of the books. They are all different genre so have different good bits and bad bits.

Desperate Measures by Laura Summers is written very well, but had a bit of an anti-climax.

The Vampire Blog by Peter Johnson is very funny, but has only a small amount of action.

Fightback by Steve Voake has lots of action but strong drug abuse (not necessarily bad).

Now by Morris Gleitzmen had good wartime and bushfire facts but is a bit slow to get to the point.
