Homework on Pluto

Description

This is a very proud moment. A pupil of mine from 5H, going to Pluto! I'm sure you will want to keep up your writing skills while you are away, so why don't you write to me and the class about your trip? A holiday to Pluto seems like a well-deserved reward for Jon, considering he has just saved the entire planet. However, with homework arriving from Earth, mad Grans and handbag-stealing, blue-headed skwitches to deal with, Jon's trip might be more eventful than he'd planned!

Lou has been writing since she could pick up a pencil and spent her childhood making little books of stories and rhymes. She is thrilled to be doing the same thing now and calling it her job! She got the idea for Professor McQuark and the Oojamaflip when the word 'oojamaflip' popped into her head, just like it did into Professor McQuark's. She loves writing in rhyme and will spend days searching for the right word, often muttering aloud to herself as she walks her dog. Lou lives with her husband, teenage children, soppy dog and erratic cat. She keeps a blog sharing resources and tips with aspiring authors, and also enjoys writing stage plays and musicals.

I really enjoy the originality of this series, the use of letters, posters and actual homework to tell the story is really engaging and different. Again it carries an underlying environmental message told in a very subtle manner that provides a starting point of conversation to share with younger readers. -- Book Lover Jo
