Khalid, a Year 7 BIS Abu Dhabi student, is a passionate reader and writer. Over the summer, Khalid wrote a book titled The Mysterious Creatures. The book takes the reader on an interesting and strange adventure that the boy lives through this book.
Before writing his book, Khalid met with Polly Ho-Yen, the writer of Boy in the Tower, who encouraged him to keep writing.
Khalid recently attended the Sharjah International Book Fair where he had the opportunity to meet with different publishers, audiences and readers. He also had the pleasureof signing his book for them.
Khalid hopes to inspire fellow students to write, because he believes it is really fun:
The biggest thing that inspired me to write my book was reading; I really enjoyed it and thought that I might be able to write a book myself, which I actually did!
I got my ideas from school work in my English lessons, and from books I read in my free time.
The advice that Polly Ho-Yen gave me was that sometimes writing can be really frustrating, but you should persevere and in the end you will have a finished piece of writing.
We are all very proud of Khalid. Khalid's book can be purchased here, or on Amazon.
