Yesterday Year 5 were lucky enough to have a visit from internationally renowned author Cliff McNish, author of the best-selling ‘The Doomspell Trilogy’. Cliff talked to the children about how he gets his inspiration and the process of his writing. His energetic attitude towards his books has inspired more children to pick up his amazing fantasy novels. Thankfully we now have selection of signed copies of his books to read in Year 5. Chelsey in Mexico class commented “I was amazed by his retelling of his story and I really want to read one of his books.”
Many children have already read his books and they got the opportunity to ask questions and gain a better understanding of why Cliff added the different twists and turns in his adventures. Elizabeth in Year 5, who managed to get her own copy of his book signed, said “I think he writes amazing books and it was amazing to be able to meet him. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.”
