Author Visit from Dan Smith
Hot off the press is a report by Year 6 Junior Reporter, William B, on the recent visit of Dan Smith:
On Tuesday 1st March we were visited by Dan Smith, a famous author of a variety of books both for children and adults. He answered many questions asked by boys from different years and told us about his life and love for books.
The children’s books Dan spoke about were: Boy X, Big Game, My Brothers Secret and My friend the enemy.
Boy X has just come out and it is highly recommended that you read it. It is about a boy called Ash who wakes up drugged on a tropical island and his mother, a genetic scientist, was forced to create a deadly virus and is now trapped and infected with the virus. Ash goes out into the jungle realising he is faster and sharper than before. But why are all the animals watching him and how can he use the jungle to his advantage?
I can’t wait to read these fantastic books and really enjoyed meeting Dan Smith.
