On Wednesday 24th August, Kyle Mewburn (famous NZ author!!!!) came to our school assembly! He told us that when he was young he sometimes got the cane for fighting. When he he left school his teacher gave him a book about a boy that was always bored. This book inspired him to be an author. He wrote a book for adults and sent it in to the publisher and they didn't like it. Then he wrote a book called 'The Hoppleplop'. It was published and he got a cheque for $1000. Next he wrote more and more books like 'Kiss Kiss Yuck Yuck' and 'Hill and Hole' and got lots more money and fame. He even won some awards.
That's Kyle Mewburn's life as an author. I thought he was funny too!
