Peter J Murray, the author of the Mokee Joe Series, visited the Isle of Wight and Lanesend Primary School last week.
He spoke with Years 3, 5 and 6 about writing fiction and how to build suspense for scary fiction stories to captivate readers.
The children enjoyed an interactive session in the hall where Peter recalled parts of his scary stories and set the children’s imagination to work on their own spooky stories.
He also returned the following day for an exclusive and very exciting book signing where the children all had an opportunity to purchase books from the Mokee Joe series and get these signed with a personal message from Peter himself.
You can read Peter’s account of the visit, at those to Wroxall, Nettlestone and Broadlea primaries on his blog, Fantastic Time on the Isle of Fright,
