THE ALIEN PROFILE
If you were an alien what would you be like?
How big would you be?
Where would you be from?
What would you like most of everything?
What would you detest?
What would your favourite food be?
If you came to earth, where would you go, and why?
What kind of personality does he have?
Now, draw a picture.
Try to show his character traits in his portrait.

A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS
I started to write this book with a central image in mind.
The whole story spiraled out and around this one image.
What do you think the image was?
Draw what YOU think is the central image of the story.

YOUR CHANCE TO BE A WRITER
Alan knows the whole story, and so do you - after all,
he's telling the story to you. But the other characters
don't know it. Rewrite a part of the story from Victor's
point of view. Use the first person. Now do it from
Christopher Leech's point of view. From Zinta's.
From Trixie's. From Norbert's.
