We have been learning how to write a blurb for a book. It is tricky because we had to not give too much detail but also give the reader some clues about what will happen in the story. We learnt a question is a good way to hook the reader in. 

We also learnt about what makes an effective book cover. We looked at lots of different covers and what made them effective.

Look at our covers and read our blurbs. Which stories would you like to read? 
Did our blurbs make you want to read our books?
