Next I have to do my illustrations and my cover. Here’s a podcast from my class about how they’re all getting on:

It has to make you want to read more. We looked at different types of openings. You could start your book on a normal day or in the middle of a big accident or event. You could also start by talking straight to the reader. You could ask questions like ‘do... 

Hi, I’m Robert and I’m in 5th class. I like writing all types of stories and my favourite books are ‘Diary of a Wimpy Kid’, ‘Big Nate’ and ‘The boy in the Striped Pyjamas’. Our school is taking part in the Write A Book project. You get to write a book on whatever you want to. I’m going to be blogging over the next few weeks to tell you how my class is getting on. So far, we’ve picked four suggestions for stories we might write. We picked four so that we had more choice to pick from. My story is about a king with a stammer. My other three...
