An author visits the 19ers

We had a surprise this week with a visit from author Lucas Chisholm.  He came to present his book to our teacher, Mrs Croll, who looks after our school library.   Lucas Chisholm had a difficult time at school because he has dyslexia.  He started doodling the 'flargies' during English class in secondary school.  His mum drew the illustrations for the book; it took one week to draw some of the pages!
"It's about looking into the pictures, not at the pictures."

We felt very special to have a real author visit the 19ers.   Lucas Chisholm is an example of how you can achieve your dream if you keep trying.
