The next paperback to fly from the nest of Squawk Books won’t be one of my babies but will belong to 200 junior school pupils from King Edward’s School. I’m going to be helping the school to produce an anthology of short stories and poetry – every single child will write a piece for the book. A pupil will design the cover too. The first task is to decide on a title and suggestions are already flooding in. "Knock Your Socks Off" is the name I like best so far. We introduced the BIG book project in a whole school assembly this morning. My favourite question was: “Will we still get homework on the day of the book launch?”

I can’t wait to see what the children write. I’ll keep you posted on how we get on…
