On Wednesday 25th January Rob Lloyd Jones, author of the ‘Wild Boy’ series, as well as many non-fiction books, visited Year 5 to talk to the children about the first title in his new action adventure series, ‘Jake Atlas and the Tomb of the Emerald Snake’. Drawing on his own experience of studying Egyptology and archaeology, Rob has written a fast-paced novel which combines the excitement of Indiana Jones with the high-tech gadgetry of Mission Impossible. Rob explained how so many things that had happened to him during his life were inspirations for the new book, including details of his own family. Year 5 are studying the Ancient Egyptians this term and Rob was impressed by how much they already knew. They were a very enthusiastic audience! Some children bought a book and had it signed by Rob, a great reminder of a special day. |
