On World Book Day Fir Vale secondary school had an outstanding time: games in the Learning Resource Centre, Stop, Drop, and Read.

The Learning Resource Centre gave lollipops, signed books and stickers to the students, who borrowed more books than they normally would.

I interviewed an Y9 student called Umayr Hussain who seemed to enjoy reading in school and also outside of school.

Who is your favourite author and why?

Rick Riordan. I started reading his books from Y4, his stories are fantasies but seem so real. He is very inspiring. If you read his book or even the blurb you will think that ‘I have to find out what happens next’. In other words, it’s a real page-turner.

What was the last book you read? And did you enjoy it?

I read the book Card Turner. I enjoyed it because there were a lot of mysteries that got solved but in a very tragic way. It also had a lot of suspense which made me want to carry on reading.

Would you say you were a book worm?

Yes, because I am always reading books or I will be reading Naruto on the computer. If I am reading The Hunger Games I like to carry on reading till I finish the book and move onto the next sequel. If I read at home, I feel like I am in my own world and I am having the same adventures the character in the book is experiencing.
