Casebrook intermediate was lucky enough to have Brian Falkner at our school.he is a talented author from Auckland who performed a show for our school.room5 was very excited to be able to go to this show,we got to the show and he was organising himself.firstly Mr Irion introduced Brian then we got on with it.suddenly Brian yelled "HELLO" casebrook yelled back "HELLO" He talked abit about himself then he started talking about his books and how he got the insperations for them.next he drew a random shape he made us use our imaganation and think about waht it was,the kids made up some halirous things such as.a book that was bitten,a yummy mine pie that was bitten into. then Brian told us about how he was at a school up north and a little boy thought it was a naked man laying on the beach.Haha next thing that happend was that he pulled a prank on a boy and told him that he coud read his mind,then on the screen a lady off bay-watch came up everybody laughed then lot of other things came up! We unfortunatley got to the end of the show & there was a coke competition where there was 6 students that was contestents.they had to drink coke and guess what kind it was also if they got all 5 flavours correct and the secrect drink they got to be a charc in his next book. Ellie from room 7 won the competition but she didn't get the secrect drink right. But in the end everybody had a amazing time.I hope he will come back one day(:

Hi for all you Stephenie Meyer fans (if you don't know who she is shes the writer of the twilight series) she has put out a new eclipse book called The Short Second Life Of Bree Tanner. Bree Tanner is a new born vampire in the book eclipse. Stephenie said that she didn't want Bree being one of those characters that dies and every one forgets about so she write a short version of eclipse in Bree's perspective.
