It was World Book Day last week, and I was delighted to see some Shansters getting in on the act and bringing life to characters from MY books.

First up we have GEORGINA, who dressed up as Mr Crepsley, and made sure she didn't head out without her trustworthy eight-legged companion in tow!!

TARYN also dressed up as Mr Crepsley, and again, it was nice to see Madam Octa added to the mix. This also answers the oft-asked question of whether or not vampires need to get passports when they travel!!!! (Actually, I've NEVER been asked that question in all my years, but hey, I should have been!!!!)

The final two photos were shared with me by the teachers and students in P6 and P7 of WHITECRAIG PRIMARY SCHOOL, who clubbed together to create a Darren Shan World Book Day Door, highlighting both Darren human and vampire halves. A fascinating piece of work, and I don't recall seeing a school take this approach with my work before.
