Author James Russell visits

James Russell came in to visit us to talk about his books. 

His main characters are Flynn & Paddy, which happen to be the names of his sons. 

He told us a great story involving frozen crumpets and a hunting knife 🙄. Followed by a story of him putting his leg through a deck.

When he writes a novel, his brain works really fast, but with his hand bandaged up... his one hand typing couldn't keep up with his brain. 

He explained what derrière meant by waving it about. 

He doesn't have a dog named Coco... or a dragon!

He has lots of really good ideas in the shower! 

The Dragon Defenders Series is set 3 years after the picture books.

He shoes us how you can use an app with the books, to show augmented reality.

He introduced us to the Pit Bull, the bad guy in the book... through the augmented reality app. The bone he crushed was a leg of lamb, which didn't make much noise... so he had to get the real Flynn to snap a stalk of celery next to the camera! 

Only one way to find an answer to our question.

This morning there was a bit of discussion and debate about whether people want to do big jumps in actual BMX races. Dylan thought that they did. Rory and Ms Raisin said definitely not. For my writing, I wrote a letter to Sarah Walker, because she should know, right? Ms Raisin copied my letter into a message to Sarah Walker. Now I just have to wait for a reply...

To Sarah Walker

Is it true that if you do a jump in a bmx race you slow down and lose the race. I personally think that when you get some speed from the starting ramp, you just don’t do a high jump but a long one. One that makes you fly over all the others, like through them in a space and win the race. Me and my teacher want a straight answer. 

My teacher says that the more air you get, the more slower you go. (She was a BMX racer in the olden days).
