Funny story, easy to read, interesting, witty... Will be fun seeing Louise Arnold books in the library in the future and know how it all started :)

Btw, look at all the fantastic comments by people! Not a negative one among them.

Just added my comments, but I forgot to mention that this part...
Grey Arthur would read him stories that he couldn't hear at night time, and do a silly dance that Tom couldn't see at his birthday party.
... had me smiling yet welling up. How is that possible?

I love you, Lou. Marry me. I have a small annex-style cupboard in my room with your name on it.



edit:
all laundry baskets are magically connected together, and poltergeists can "ride" laundry baskets to pop from house to house.
What a fantastic idea! :D

Great stuff Damini, I put a nice comment on there. Pity about the minority of intellectual gits on there. They should 'grow down' and remember what being a child is like.

I'd take comparisons to J K Rowling as a big compliment. I met her just before she really hit the big time, I didn't have a clue who she was, but she was very pleasant, unassuming, and very accommodating (it was a freezing cold day, and at Edinburgh castle!).

I want exclusive rights to film you when you become as famous :D

This is all a bit harsh really.

She's being thrown into the deep end when I'd imagine most writers would have months and years of preperation before worrying about things like public opinion and publishers.

I don't know how long you've been writing, maybe you do feel ready to make a profession of it. Just don't feel like you have to reach the big-time tomorrow, should take it easy and try and enjoy it.

It felt like I'd gone back in time 20 years, reading CS Lewis books. I'd like to see more comments from the children who have read it, I bet they loved it.

I hope there's more clowning around in the next part!

it worries me at some of the comments the "This is just Harry Potter ripped off!!!111oneone"

*puzzles*

have these people even read Harry Potter?

it's a children's story - therefore it has some similar elements to other children's stories

It's a writing style, it's pretty hard not to write in a style dissimilar to every other writing style - or people just won't be able to read it I imagine ;) surprised they're not complaining it's ripping off shakespeare because it's in prose..

OMG! it's got a boy in it! Harry Potter had a boy in it! that's such a rip off!
