Stuart Reid visited our school this week to talk about reading and writing books. The children in Y1 -7 attended an assembly in the hall, which was enjoyed by all. Y5-7 also had a creative writing workshop. IT was a great day. Thank you Stuart, you have inspired us to keep reading and writing!
Stuart Reid is an award winning children’s writing talent who is rapidly growing in stature. Gorgeous George & The Giant Geriatric Generator (illustrated by Calvin Innes) was his first book and also the first in the Gorgeous George series. The book picked up the Forward National Literature Award 2012 for Middle Grade Fiction. The follow up, Gorgeous George & The ZigZag Zit-Faced Zombies was released in January 2013 and enjoyed a unique launch with dozens of schools across the UK taking part in Snot Zombie Fun Days, designed to promote reading and literacy.
There are at least another four Goegeous George books planned for the next 24 months, as well as several other funny, exciting and silly children’s books titles penned by Stuart.
