Yesterday, 12 children and two teachers went on a trip to the Norfolk Children's Book Festival (3rd July 2013) at Norwich School. All of the children got on a coach to the festival and when they got there, they all received a bag of little things (eg, pencil, sharpener, book-mark, notepad, water bottle and leaflets). The kids who went were Reece, Ethan, Alec, Alisha, Caylan, Olivia, Caitlin, Haiden, Sharice, Jessica, Shania and Abbie.
The fiirst author that came on stage was Helen Dennis and she wrote a set of books about a group of kids who had to solve and crack mysterious codes. She spoke about this code that has never been cracked and still hasn't and the code is called MS408. It all took place about 500 years ago when a man was on holiday in Italy and he wanted to find something to bring back to his family. His name was Wilfred Voynich.

The next author was called Craig Simpson and he writes really awesome books called Special Ops. There are three books written so far but he hopes to write six. They are all to do with World War 1. They explain how spies and other undercover agents all worked together as a big part of our victory plotting escape plots and plenty of other things.
After him it, was a great author called Tim Bowler. He talked about how he come up with ideas for his books. He was great at telling us good tips about improving our writing. The final author was called Kjartan Poskitt. He was just crazy and really entertaining. The festival was brilliant and I can't wait to go again next year.
The festival was reported in the local paper here.
