Author Visit - Peter J Murray
Today, KS2 were treated to a morning with Peter J Murray - author of several books, including the amazing Mokee Joe series. Pete told us how Mokee Joe came about - a simple game of hide and seek with his children that became more scary! We were introduced to the characters that appear in Mokee Joe - the good, the bad and the ones in between! We discovered the characters of Hudson Brown, Molly and Ashley - who try to bring Mokee Joe down. The stories were set in different parts around the world and each bringing more adventure, problems and villains with it.
The children were captivated and laughed, clapped, gasped and were in awe of the stories. They were a credit! Pete said that they were "an amazing audience" and that he would love to come back and work tell them more of his stories!
There is still time to send in some money for books - £5 each / a complete set of 6 for £30 (he has said that there will be no more Mokee Joe's). Please send any money in to school in a clearly named envelope - Pete will be in on Monday afternoon where children can choose their book and he will sign it!
