Daniel Knight, from Byron Wood Primary School, was a finalist in Scholastic Book Fair’s national writing competition, judged by Horrid Henry author Francesca Simon.
Over 19,000 children from across the country wrote their own stories, poems, letters, diary entries, observations and recipes for the competition.
Daniel was one of the 100 finalists, who were chosen by the awardwinning author herself, alongside the eventual winner. Daniel wins the prize of a copy of the Scholastic Yearbook featuring his very own published story.
Byron Wood headteacher, Mrs Ashton, said “I am very proud of Daniel. It is such an achievement to be chosen from 19,000 other children.”
