Alex Lea, Age 13 submitted the below entry about his experiences of Bath Children&#8217;s Literature Festival.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bath\u2019s Fantastic Literature Festival by Alex Lea, Age 13<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Bath Children\u2019s Literature Festival is one of my favourite events of the year. I always discover new authors when I look through the festival guide. Each year my brother, my sister and I order pretty much all the books (provided we haven\u2019t read them already) from Bath library. In fact, the festival was how I discovered David Almond\u2019s Skellig, which is one of the best books I\u2019ve ever read! I\u2019ve been going to the festival since it started, and I\u2019ve thoroughly enjoyed it each year.<\/p>\n<p>If I had to pick a favourite, it would be author and illustrator (and champion of libraries and creativity) Chris Riddell. He\u2019s a master storyteller and his political satire is as fearsomely sharp as his pencils. Both Almond and Riddell are back for this year\u2019s festival.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, Philip Pullman is now unable to attend, but there are plenty of other amazing authors to choose from! I recommend hilarious duo Sarah Mcintyre and Philip Reeve (D2) for younger readers; awe-inspiring Jungle Explorer: Katherine Rundell (K9) for middle grade and wickedly funny and fantastical Sebastien de Castell \u2013 Spellslinger! (B18) for age 12+. Thanks to First News for sponsoring the festival again \u2013 it makes a huge difference.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8369 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/bathfestivals.org.uk\/childrens-literature\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/09\/alex-lea-2-1-700x525.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bathfestivals.org.uk\/childrens-literature\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/09\/alex-lea-2-1-700x525.jpg 700w, https:\/\/bathfestivals.org.uk\/childrens-literature\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/09\/alex-lea-2-1-250x188.jpg 250w, https:\/\/bathfestivals.org.uk\/childrens-literature\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/09\/alex-lea-2-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bathfestivals.org.uk\/childrens-literature\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2018\/09\/alex-lea-2-1-120x90.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Photo: Alex (13), Toby (8) and Izzy (10) Lea with books by some of the authors coming to this year\u2019s literature festival.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We also had some fantastic runners up:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Christopher Cooper, Age 9<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I have been going to the Bath Literature Festival for about the last five years.\u00a0 During those I have seen Michael Rosen who wrote \u2018Bear Hunt, Julia Donaldson author of \u2018The Gruffulo\u2019 and Terry Deary the person behind \u2018Horrible Histories\u2019, amongst others.<\/p>\n<p>Another one of my favourite is Chris Riddell, he was the UK Children&#8217;s Laureate between 2015 and 2017. Chris Riddell has written lots of good books from \u2018Mr Underbed\u2019 to the \u2018Ottoline\u2019 series, my favourite of his are the \u2018Goth Girl\u2019 series of books. The final of these; \u2018Goth Girl and the Sinister Symphony\u2019 came out last year.\u00a0 Well it might be the last one, but at last year\u2019s festival he sneakily suggested there might be another Goth Girl book one day.<\/p>\n<p>As well as writing these outstanding books, he also draws the pictures in them.\u00a0 He was kind enough to give out some of his drawings and I was lucky enough to get some, I have two one of Theresa May and one of Michael Rosen.<\/p>\n<p>I can\u2019t wait to see Chris Ridell at this year\u2019s festival where he is talking about his pictures in the new book \u201cThe Tales of Beedle the Bard\u201d by J.K Rowling.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8360 size-large\"

the time Bath Kids Lit Fest starts!<\/p>\n<p>My favourite part from last year was being a gong farmer at Philip Ardagh\u2019s event.\u00a0 Chris Riddell also did a nice drawing of Theresa May in a bin, bit political I know, but it was a good drawing\/art style.\u00a0 I normally skip school to go to Bath Kids Lit Fest so it matters even more that I have a good time, and I will, even if I don\u2019t win a press pass!<\/p>\n<p>I also like the Guildhall a lot and the year before last I enjoyed seeing my Dad\u2019s very distant cousin Julian Clary do a talk on the Bolds with David Roberts (who my Mum likes).<\/p>\n<p>I love drawing and it\u2019s nice to see so many fellow illustrators \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>This is me, so, you know I am a boy now.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\"
