| Year 7 pupils at St Paul's excited to get their books signed by Curtis Jobling |
Author, Curtis Jobling, carried the Reading & Writing Relay baton (a gigantic pencil) to St Paul’s Catholic High School in Wythenshawe yesterday.
After sharing his inspirational employment history to the class of 90 pupils from Year 7, Curtis went on to talk about his new book Haunt and his bestselling series Wereworld.
Curtis went on to lead a motivating Q&A session, where the pupils of St Paul’s had prepared questions for him in anticipation of his visit. He explained that inspiration for his characters and storylines came from different places, and that Raa Raa The Noisy Lion came to him after a long car journey with his children.

“[Curtis] was really good, and he’s encouraged me to read more. Now I want to go to university.” Keeley Vesey, a Year 7 pupil, told us while waiting for her copy of Haunt to be signed.
The event was a success, and the pupils of St Paul’s left feeling inspired to carry on with their hobbies. The pupils were also encouraged to enter the Comic Strip competition, which is judged by Curtis himself. The winner will receive a professionally designed framed print of their comic strip.
