Norfolk Children's Book Festival by Alisha

On Wednesday some children from West Earlham Junior School went to a book festival  in the city. It was really fun. There were lots of children and authors.

On of them was Helen Denis, she was talking about her book Secret Breakers. She also showed us how to crack codes.

Also there was Craig Simpson who revealed some secrets about his past. Secret number one is that he once got beaten up by some French guards. Secret number two is that his car was sat on by a horse and cost £1000 to repair it.

Then it was break time. Some people stayed in and listened to a famous poet called Molly Naylor. She was very good. After the break the next author came on and it was Tim Bowler. He was quite funny, he talked about tips on writing stories.  It was then lunchtime and we all had an ice-cream.

The next author we met was Kjartan Poskitt. Hee is the author of the Agatha Parrot books. He talked to us about magic tricks and about why he decided to write books about maths.

Overall we had a brilliant day and learned about lots of new authors.
