A GROUP of young aspiring authors who turned their hand to writing have published a book of short stories in aid of Cancer Research.
The collection, by year 8 pupils at Rosemary Musker High School in Thetford, titled A Picture Tells a Thousand Stories, was sold to pupils, staff and the public.
Class teacher Laura Ballantyne said: “Everyone has to learn about and write short stories at school, but we wanted to give our work a real purpose.
“Therefore we decided that rather than just write stories, we would publish them for a real audience, and do something for charity in the process.”
