LAURA: Oh, it's our pleasure to have you. Now, could you tell us a bit about your latest book, "Where Seagulls Dare"? ALEX: So the first thing I think about is what do I want the setting to do in- as part of the story? Um, how do I want this place to feel? Um, how do I want the audience to feel about it? And then when you can go from there, when you know what you want, um, you-, how you want the place to feel, then you- you go through your senses. Think about your smell, um, the things you can hear, the things you can see. And then just really go through there, and, um, and using that you can really craft a- a setting. The novel will be published in May 2022, with an illustrator to be confirmed shortly. It will be the third title to be distributed by the Marcus Rashford Book Club, after A Dinosaur Ate My Sister by Pooja Puri, illustrated by Allen Fatimaharan, and Silas and the Marvellous Misfits by Tom Percival. I wanted to create something that really captured the true spirit of breakfast club. Outside of making sure we got the best start to our days with cereal, toast and juice, it was where my friendships were made. Where we could just lose ourselves. A safe haven,” said Rashford. “Breakfast club was where some of my greatest memories were formed, where we talked about our dreams and where adventures were planned, and it was important for me that we captured that in my first fiction book. Alex is a great writer who is able to capture that brilliantly and I’m thrilled that he’s on this journey with me.” LAURA: I loved the Roald Dahl books as well when I was younger. So exciting, "Matilda" and "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" and stuff.

LAURA: Ok, so, I've got some fictional crimes and I need you to tell me who the literary culprit of these crimes are. ANTHONY HOROWITZ: Thanks, Laura. Have a great summer, everyone. Read lots of books. And don't be like Laura. Avoid seagulls. ANTHONY HOROWITZ: Well that's, first of all, thank you very much. I'm glad you like the Alex Rider books. He was largely inspired by my son, who was twelve at the time I started writing them. But also by James Bond. So he's a little mix of James Bond, the greatest spy in the world. But turned into a teenager like my son. Investigate how people are awarded honours and research children’s authors who have received an honour and the reason they were given it. The children could also look into the history of the honours system.

MARTA: I know, it's actually been recently translated into English. Uh, it's been translated in many languages before, but not English. ANd I think recently has, so.

MARTA: I dream-, yeah, maybe. There's definitely a lot of creativity and a lot of sort of free-spirited approach in that academy. So I think they're definitely, um, well, ring some bells. It was similar to my art, yes. And, you know, I look at that. I- I sort of think, oh, what are the good ones or the not. And usually I may have some of my own ideas, so then we have this dialogue and I suggest, oh, how about this? And then from that we have the proper solid list on to which I–LAURA: I'm gonna give you three emojis, and Alex, you're gonna have to tell a story using those three emojis. And Marta, you're gonna illustrate along. Share other illustrated stories with the children and see if any of the illustrations could inspire them to draw in a similar fashion. Ask them to identify what techniques and materials they think have been used. ALEX: That's the thing. I don't remember. He has a dog or something? I can't remember the name of the dog. ANTHONY HOROWITZ: Well, WriteForLife, I, I mean, it's so difficult. I mean, I, I sort of love all my books, really. But I guess I have to go for "Where Seagulls Dare", because it's the most recent book. It's the one that's just out now. And I think that's how it is when you're a writer. The book you're writing or the book you've just written is the one that you feel closest to. LAURA: Yeah, or like some kind of dog who unclear chase after all the balls. It needs to be someone ANTHONY: Exactly. who cannot play the sport, yes. Ok, the next world's worst for you is, what book character do you think would be the world's worst astronaut?
