It was good with Steve yesterday. He's really funny. I've never read his books, but one I really want to read his `Dreamcatcher` - Harriet Holden 7JMc.

I thought Steve was funny but it was interesting as well. The part what I thought funny was when he said the Deputy Head picked up a boy and his legs were still running - William Fletcher 7CSm.

I thought that Steve was very interesting. He tried his best to make us feel like we were in his story about when he was young. I thought that he tried his best to sound interesting and he couldn't be any better because he's as good as any other author I know - Stephanie Brough.

I thought Steve Bowkett was very good and very funny. I would love to read one of his books. They sound very exciting and funny. I hope we hear more of him in the future and he was very interesting - Liam Bailey.

The books were good. I like 'The World's Smallest Werewolf' - B. Lawson 7DLa.

He was very funny. I will read his new story. I would really like to know when and why you were in the 'Double Dare Gang' and why you have not written about your adventures. Did you really try to steal the fruit from old man Jones's allotment? Did you get in a lot of trouble as a boy? What was the most trouble you got into and when did you get called a 'yellow belly chicken?' I have read 'Dreamcatcher.' it's very good. Where do you get all of your ideas? Have you ever based any of your stories on yourself? I want to read, 'The World's Smallest Werewolf ' - Tom Whitehead 7DLa.

I think he was very good and I enjoyed that little story he told us about him and his mates nicking the fruit from old Mr Jones`s garden and the name of the gang 'The Double Dare Gang' - Joe Lloyd 7DLa.

I like Stephen Bowkett because he makes funny books like Barry and Dreamcatcher - Matthew Payne 7NHu.

I thought he was very interesting. He was also funny, but the thing that was wrong was he always spoke fast and you couldn't hardly tell what he was saying. But he was funny. He`s a very interesting author- Raegen Scowcroft 7JMC.

He was interesting, but I think he was a bit over the top and silly sometimes.

It was good when he told you how the camera moved in the old days and he went into details about it. They had prefects and everyone sat in special places - Oliver Dixon 8JMo.

The way he said 'curry' was funny. - Christian Bamforth 8JM0.
