On 11 October 2011, I visited Thorpe Hall Lower School in Southend-on-Sea, Essex, and gave a slideshow presentation and talk followed by a 'Meet the Author' booksigning event. 

Afterwards, the children kindly sent me some letters and artwork based on my books and the presentation. This helps other schools to know what happens so they can decide if they would like a FREE Jack Trelawny author visit to their school. Below is a letter from Zac Horton.

Thanks for your letter, Zac. I enjoyed coming to talk to talk to your school during book week. Perhaps I'll see you all again when the first book in the new Thirteen Things series comes out. It's called The Emperor's Rhinoceros and is based on the true story of a real rhinoceros and a real object (or 'thing') from about 500 years ago.

I agree with Angus that the Eden Project is very interesting. I said in the talk that I learn all I can about the real world and then I can take things from the real world and change them around to put them in to my stories. When I went to the real Eden Project to find things out, I saw it was in a great big valley, so I made a pretend 'Eden Valley' in my story.

I also saw that there were carnivorous (meat eating) plants at the real Eden Project. So, in my story I invented a giant meat eating tree-creature called, Monstro. He has twelve staring eyes that can see in all directions and twelve branch arms that he uses to catch children before he eats them.

Yes, Tobias, I can certainly say that Thorpe Hall Lower School children were a well behaved audience. There were lots of good questions too. I hope I gave some good answers!

Well done Emily for remembering that we talked about the 'W' words for stories in the slideshow presentation. I find an easy way to remember the parts that make up stories is to look at the Story House.

I really like the animal that Ameala has drawn. Do you think it's a friendly animal or a ferocious creature?

Will's pictures give a real impression of 'action', something exciting happening.

I like the mutant and crab pictures Luke has drawn based on the Kernowland in Erthwurld stories. Colouring  them in with bright crayons has really made them come to life!
