Fern Hill primary school pupil wins rucksack full of books
10:00am Sunday 17th March 2013 in News By Jon Sharman, Reporter
Aspring spy novelist Jay Bartram with teacher Sue Khullar
An aspiring young author marked World Book Day in style by winning a rucksack full of books.
Jay Bartram, 10, from Fern Hill Primary School in Kingston, won by posing a question to children’s authors Tom Banks and Elen Caldecott.
He asked them: “Do you have a hat with a lightbulb in it, and if so, does it light up when you get an idea?”
Jay said he enjoys writing: “I have written a spy story because I enjoy reading the Alex Rider and young Bond series.
“I have also started writing another one which is about a blob called Bob.”
Jay’s teacher Sue Khullar said: “It has certainly sparked off great things in him.
"It seemed to capture him when he got that big pile of books.”
