Book Reviews

When you sit at home writing a story you never know if anyone is going to like it so it's great when you find that people do. It's wonderful to receive an email or a letter from someone that has read one of your books themselves or from someone that has shared one of you books with someone else... it's also great when someone takes the time to write a reiew of a book.

I was delighted to discover that someone has read and enjoyed one of my Robo-runners books recently and has written a review of it for Amazon. Even more delighted that they enjoyed the book and gave it a five star rating. Woo Hoo !!!

Here's what they wrote - "The second great robot story by Damian Harvey does not disappoint. As the robots continue on their quest to find Robotika, Al, Crank and Torch come across some robots who race against each other; the mekanix and the engineerz. Quick paced and exhilarating, enjoyable from beginning to end. I reccommend this as I would all the robo - runners series. Great for young readers."

Easter Holidays - WWE - Swimming and Writing

I hope you've all had a good break from school over the Easter Holidays and haven't eaten too much chocolate.

As well as going out for a few walks, spending at day at the swimming bath and enjoying the sunshine, we took Connor to see the WWE Wrestling at the Echo Arena in Liverpool.... and I have to say, it much more fun than Vicky and I thought it was going to be. We were sat pretty close to the ring so got a really good view too.

As well as all that I've also been busy writing. Today I'm going to be putting the finishing touches to one or two picture book stories that I've been working on - and then I'll be sending them off into the world to see what people think of them.... always a scary time.

I haven't got any book pictures to brighten up this diary entry I thought I'd show you a picture that I took while we were watching the Wrestling. As I'm sure you already know - the picture if of Rey Mysterio.

Tomorrow afternoon I'm calling in at St Mary's RC Primary School in Fleetwood, Lancashire, to spend a few hours with everyone from Reception to Year six - so here's a BIG HELLO to everyone there.

Manor Beach Primary School

I've been a bit quiet on the diary front recently... sorry about that folks...

Tomorrow I'm off to spend the day with everyone at Manor Beach Primary School in Cleveleys, Lancashire, so here's a BIG HELLO to everyone there.

I'm also busy working a new story idea but it's TOP SECRET so I can't tell you anything about it just yet.

Hello To...

Everyone at St Luke's CE Primary school in Crosby... and everyone at St Peter's Primary School in Leigh. See you soon folks.

Sinnington Primary School

Had a great day at Gladstone Road Infant School today... just sitting and relaxing now.

Tomorrow is my last day in North Yorkshire and I will be spending it at Sinnington Primary School - so here's a Big Hello to everyone there.

I had a little walk round Scarborough earlier on - round the shops, down by the beach and along the seafront... it was lovely and sunny, but absolutely f-f-f-f-freezing cold.

Gladstone Road Infants

Finally managed to get my internet connection sorted out so that means I will be able to start adding pictures to my diary posts again - Hurrahh!!

It's my second day in Scarborough and the sun is shining brightly... Today I will be spending the day at Gladstone Road Infant School so here's a BIG HELLO to everyone there.

Scarborough Schools

I had another great day at Padiham Primary school yesterday... a big thank you to Mrs Billam and everyone there for making me feel so welcome.

For the rest of the week I am in Scarborough visiting schools with the school library service - starting today with Hinderwell Primary School... I'll see you all soon.
