Why I wrote this book

I started the book by writing a chapter for homework. My family all said it was really good and wanted to know what happened next, so I carried on from there and eventually it turned into a book.

I also want as many people to read the book as possible so when you click the 'Download Extract' button you will actually get the whole book which you can read online or print off FREE! I hope you enjoy it.

My favourite authors are J.K. Rowling and Joe Craig.  

I have my own website at www.willgoddard.co.uk.

The inspiration for this story came from two paragraphs taken from a practice exam paper that Will saw. They were written by John Herbert Head of English & Head of Teaching and Learning at Christ's Hospital School.

Reviews

A message from Author Joe Craig

Hi Will,
 
I know it's been a long time since you sent me your story, but I finally had the  chance to sit down and read it today. It's really impressive! Well done. It's not  easy to write a story that keeps the reader's interest over that many pages, but you managed to develop the plot very well. I was totally absorbed all the way through! The fact that you've been to the places you write about really adds  something to your writing, so I think if you didn't want to write gripping mysteries you could try travel journalism as an alternative! Either way, you  should definitely keep writing. The more you read and the more you write, the  better you'll get, and the more confidence you'll have at exploring every detail of your story so you can really bring it to life even more.
 
When you're a bit older you should read some of the books by Robert Ludlum, because your style reminded me a bit of him. That's a good thing - at one point  a few years ago he was the biggest selling novelist in the world!
 
The ideas you used are really excellent - especially the video hidden by the  character's father in his mobile phone along with the addresses. I liked that a lot. 

So well done on such an amazing achievement. But don't rest on your laurels!  Build up a collection of stories over the next few years and they'll get better and better. Then you can even go back to this story and keep working on it.

You can deepen the emotion of the main character, polish some of the dialogue, and even develop the plot further if you wanted to turn it into a proper novel - a short one, at least.
 
Well done - and keep writing!
