Extracts from Y3 letters to authors Dear Jacqueline Wilson, My name is India and I am 8 years old and live in Singapore. I LOVE your books and to be honest you are probably one of my favourite authors. Although your situations are really sad, you put them in a really funny way. I have to say my favourite character has to be Tracey Beaker. I just love the way she acts and responds to people like Cam and Elaine the Pain. I love her because I’m sort of naughty at home but good at school and I get good ideas from her, like I put slime in my mum and dads bed and I frightened my mum with a fake cockroach and lizard. India Boyd Y3.4 Dear Mr Blake, My name is Grace and I am eight years old, I go to TTS. We have been studying you and your work as part of a study of authors. You have been the main author. I especially like Mrs Armitage as she is a very crazy character. I hope you do not mind me asking some questions, mostly about your books. 1. How did you get the idea for Arabel’s Raven? 2. Where do you usually write your books? 3. Do you like always being an author and illustrator or do you like just one of them? Grace Pedley Y3.1
Dear Mr. Horowitz, My name is Tom and I am 8 and I like your books because they are action packed, interesting and gripping. I’ve read six of your books and am reading Snakehead at the moment. I really like Alex Rider because he always gets out of trouble and has “the luck of the devil’. I like all the characters except Alan Blunkett who is boring and doesn’t appreciate Alex. I like how all the character’s names match their personality. Tom Ings Chambers Y3.4

The LEGO Book by Daniel Lipkowitz Standing Small: a celebration of 30 years of the LEGO mini-figure by Nevin Martell The Battle Begins (Star Wars: The Clone Wars) by Rob Valois Do not open this book! by Michaela Muntean and Pascal Lemaitre Luke Skywalker's amazing story (Star Wars) by Simon Beecroft My favourite book is Dinosaurs Before Dark (by Mary Pope Osbourne). I liked it when the T-Rex goes forwards to Jack when he’s behind the tree and his friend Pteranodon saves him by getting him and flies back to the treehouse where Annie, Jack’s sister is. It is very interesting but some girls could be scared. Matthew White Reception 4
