On Wednesday, November 5th, the boys of Form 5 travelled to Rathmines Library to meet Irish author Kevin Moran, writer of The Doomsday Club, the book they are currently reading. Kevin spoke to the boys about how he created the plot and characters in The Doomsday Club. He even invited some of them to take on roles from the story and take part in a dramatic reading of one of the chapters.
The boys also had the chance to ask Kevin many questions — about the book, the Irish mythology that features strongly in it, what life as a children’s author is like, and his advice on writing stories and creating interesting characters.
The boys of Form 5 thoroughly enjoyed meeting Kevin Moran and are eagerly awaiting the next book in The Doomsday Club series. A big thank-you to Bríd Leahy and everyone at Rathmines Library for organising such an inspiring event.
