Hi Im making a book about a posh family that are french.Any ideas?
Senorita Cilla Menace
Ok! This sounds really good! Here’s some tips from one author to another…
1. Do it in first person. Choose a son/daughter who you think would have some really interesting opinions on their posh life. What do they think of their siblings and parents? Do they wish they weren’t posh? Do they like it?
2. Give it a past. The more the reader knows about before, the more they’ll want to know about later. But keep something hidden, something the main character won’t find out about until near the end.
3. Twist, twist, twist! Give your reader a good shock. What could it be? A sibling turns out to be adopted? A big move? A dead uncle? If your reader can see the whole storyline coming, they might not recommend the book, or they might even stop reading.
4. Use description! Put the picture in the reader’s head. Sometimes, when someone has illustrations in their book, they decide not to use so much description. This doesn’t work! A good book has good description. Listen to your teachers moan about adjectives and adverbs! Trust me, it helps!
The big house= The vast, whitewashed mansion standing proud on a flat street.
5. Give the main character a good imagination. If they are different from the family, wild and imaginative, the reader will want to see how they react to their posh life.
6. Research the names. This may sound weird, but a name can have a backstory. Google, ‘Meaning of name…’ or ‘Names that mean…’ and you can really feel the character, even when the reader can only know if THEY research.
Hope you love my tips! Remember to use your imagination, and font break your writing flow!

Hi not sure if my idea is really good but:
1. Make them live in palace or mansion.
2. Make them talk in a kind of french accent?

Hello! Good morning/Good afternoon!
I want to write an adventure story soon if you could give me some ideas that would be great!
General Kangaroo Sofa
What about a charaters father/mother disappears and the main character has to go find them and they have an adventure!
Hope this helps!
If you want to read an adventure story here are some books:
Katherine Rundell-The Explorer
Christopher Edge-Escape Room
Hope these are good.
Countess Mildred Haystack

You could write that they got lost and had to find their way back and then have to overcome strange courses and rituals for witches/ spiritual practioners? I hope this helps!

1. Would you rather stand with only your shorts in -10 degrees or wear 20 layers of clothes in 40 degrees?
2. Would you rather jump up and down for the rest of your life or run on the spot and not stop for the rest of your life?
3. Would you rather bark like a dog after every sentence or moo like a cow after every sentence?
I would love to see your answers and what you would rather do!
