Today Year 7 and 8 students were able to enjoy a visit by Mr Chamberlain, who is an old boy of the school. His novel Eddie's Big Fat Lies is based on FDMC, so that when he and a student read from this book, there was much the boys could relate to. It captured their attention and imagination, and they were keen to hear more.
Audible oohs and awws were expressed as the boys listened to a fight scene between a newbie and a bully at the school. The story had great appeal and will be one that they will readily study in class.
There was applause in appreciation of his time and sharing. Mr Chamberlain also held writer's workshops for students.
I invite students who were part of the author visit to add their comments about what they enjoyed.
