Today room 12 had to Line-up At 1.20pm to go to the Kapiti Public Library because we were going to meet a Teens Fiction Writer by the name of Mandy Hager. Mandy shared with us some pages of nearly every book she wrote I’ll share some with you.
• Run to the trees about a boy who is Dyslexic and has to stay with His Uncle Who is Trying to Save a forest down in the South island of New Zealand.
• Smashed about a Half Asian and half Pakeha Boy Who makes Friends with two of the most Trouble makers in the School one has A.D.H.D and the other is a person who is sooo into cars.
• The last one is a series of a Trilogy Called the Crossing about a Islander Girl who thinks she is the only one left in the world but White people come and she becomes one of them.
Then when Mandy had finished telling us about the stories she has written Mr. Madge asked “How do you do your proof reading”. Mandy said “ I give them to either my daughter or my Mum and they check for mistakes if there are any they give the story back and I go and correct my mistakes”. Then when Mandy had finished speaking I (Jordan) got up and said“ On behalf of room 12 I would like to say a big thank you”
