Read a lot - poems, prose, stories, newspapers, anything. Read books and poems that you think you will like and some that you think might not be for you. You might be surprised.
Michael Morpurgo
Books that kids read should be about what is going on in the world.
Michael Morpurgo
Everyone is interested in war, in that people don't want it to happen. I'm much more interested in peace than in war but it's important to understand why we fight.
Michael Morpurgo
I write fiction. I make things up, it's what I do.
