Primary 6 pupils were the hosts when Keith Charters came to chat about books, writing, publishing and anything else interesting. A great time was had by all, as we were royally entertained, informed, and read to - all just perfect for a Friday afternoon.
Keith has a new book of his own out this year, Lee on the Dark Side of the Moon. This is the fourth story about the irrepressible Lee and his daft adventures. This time Lee is on a trip to the moon because he won a competition on the back of a cereal packet. Lee obviously eats more exciting cereal than I do! After an uneventful flight, Lee and his fellow astronauts find that all is not well on the surface of the moon - someone (or something!) else is also on a lunar trip....
As usual, the book is exciting, funny, silly and great fun to read, and includes a lot of fascinating facts of interest to every budding space traveller - well ,what is the food like? and how do you go to the toilet in zero gravity? All this and more is explained as Lee gets to grips with life on board the rocket.
Keith also told us about some of the new books his publishing company has recently brought out and we will be looking out for these soon too. There may also be another Lee book, but no date on that one yet!
