Keith Gray is a great author - I really enjoyed his visit he read a part of his book to us which isn’t even published yet. His new book is really interesting it is one of the books which when you start reading you can’t stop. Keith Gray has 13 books published, The Runner by Keith Gray won Keith a silver medal and he won a Smarties and had a ‘Smartie party’, he is from Edinburgh.

We got to ask him questions. We asked him what is the most difficult book and it was fearful, it took 5 years.

Ryan, aged 15, from Paisley, Renfrewshire, Scotland saw Keith Gray at Ferguslie Park Library - Renfrewshire and says:

Keith's visit to Ferguslie Library was very good. He gave all the teenagers great tips and ideas for writing their own stories. The kids found Keith to be very inspiring and got lots of inside tips from him, as well as a sneak preview of his latest materials. Keith also told of his new tv writings, where one of his books is being turned into a short series for childrens television. Staff and teenagers enjoyed the visit very much and would welcome Keith back to the library anytime.

Georgia, aged 10, from Runcorn, Cheshire, England saw The Suitcase Kid at Theatre and says:

It was quite good but it could be improved by talking a bit louder. The whole story was kind of one thing to the other. A little bit confusing.
At the end their lighting was very good with her two families. So the overall was quite good but I still think it could be improved more.
