Check out the rest of this excellent short story by Hannah Berry and James Smythe over on the Booktrust website.
Hannah Berry is Booktrust’s seventh online writer in residence and author of the books Britten and Brulighty and Adamtine. In this video, with Booktrust’s lovely web editor Nikesh, she explains why she prefers graphic novels, why she loves French cartoons and what the hell Adamtine is.
And if that wasn’t enough, Hannah will be doing an event at this year’s Comica Festival on 19th November at 7pm. Taking place at the Free Word Centre in London, Hannah and Paul Gravett will be in conversation with some of the country’s best graphic novelists.
Simone Lia, Sarah McIntyre, Glyn Dillon, Karrie Fransman and the legendary artist Dave McKean will also be in attendance.

Super Exciting News! Cape graphic novelist Hannah Berry is now Booktrust’s seventh online Writer in Residence. The residency lasts for six months and Hannah will be blogging (the written word AND illustrations!) regularly about illustration and graphic novels at large, as well as the highs and lows of having a second book published.
Hannah will also be joining us at the East London Comics & Arts Festival on 17th June, so don’t forget to visit the Jonathan Cape table then!
