Curtis Jobling continued the Manchester Children’s Book
Festival Reading and Writing Relay today by visiting The King's School in
Macclesfield.
Curtis spoke to an audience of 70 pupils about his new book Haunt and his bestselling series Wereworld.
Curtis then led an inspiring Q+A session, as Curtis
explained his ability to tell a story arose from playing with his friends as a
child. He also went on to encourage any budding writers to enter the Comic Smart
competition – judged by Curtis himself.
After Curtis performed extracts from his books, many of the
children bought copies from the Werewold series
and Haunt for him to sign – and the
teachers even received signed Bob the
Builder and Raa Raa the Noisy Lion
posters for the school library.
All in all Curtis went down a storm and we can’t wait for
the rest of his tour of Greater Manchester Schools.
