Holiday Club: 19-22 December 2016. The Whole Story: It’s a Christmas Mystery! – (8-12 Yrs)
£300.00
Led by Alan Durant
Who? Why? Where? When? How? These are just some of the questions a good, exciting mystery story poses and eventually, after many intriguing twists and turns, answers. Enter the world of curious events, suspicious characters and atmospheric settings; of red herrings and grey alibis; of investiga-tions and accusations, of mystery and suspense – plus, as this is a seasonal course, of puzzling pud-dings and Christmas conundrums too! Alan Durant has been a fan of mystery stories ever since he first read Enid Blyton’s The Famous Five series and Agatha Christie’s Poirot whodunnits. Join him on this course of four lively and informative writing workshops, in which you’ll learn about the essential elements of a gripping and successful seasonal mystery story – from ideas to plotting to resolution – and create a whole new one of your own!
Alan Durant is an award-winning author of over a hundred books for children of all ages – from pic-ture books to novels for young adults. He spends a lot of his time encouraging and inspiring young (and not so young) people all over the world to write stories and poems. He loves Christmas and foot-ball.
