Media Reviews
Extremely well organised ... a straightforward, no-nonsense approach which makes it very accessible. Chapter titles ... have an immediacy and simplicity which involves the reader from the word go. ... beautifully written and organised. It is a book with plenty for everyone, simple enough for a 10-year-old to read and use on their own, yet never simplistic. It is full of points and ideas worthy of discussion and an inspiration for those interested in exploring the art of story-telling. -- School Librarian 20031101 Fiction is clearly and encouragingly shown to be a matter of beginnings, middles and endings but also as much more than that. Aristotle and Eastenders are effectively cited... -- TES Teacher 20030917 'a fun and informative book...all kids keen to write better will find something useful in this cheerful new book' -- Kelly Milner Halls, Freelance Writer 20030917 A very practical and clear guide full of advice and tips ... Full of useful suggestions, actual examples and work by both children and by established adult writers ... Useful both in the classroom or the school library, and also for the individual enthusiastic pupil. -- Book Trusted News 20030601
