On the 23rd of May I met Dave Pilkey with Oliver A-S at Fendalton school. First Dave was welcomed in by a kapahaka group and he had a tear in his eye. Then he told us a bit about himself and that he has ADHD and didn't do well in school. His whole career started when his 4th grade teacher accidentally said underpants, which gave him the idea of Captain underpants. He then showed us a slideshow of how he became an author and about his pet beetle that helps him write. Once he told us a little bit about himself we played a game, where he would draw a character and ask the audience a question about it. If you got the question right you could win a voucher to the children's book shop and a signed book. At the end of it we went into a line to get our books signed. It was about a half an hour wait. I was lucky enough to get a selfie with him. He was a really cool person and has inspired me to become an author when I am older. It was really fun getting to meet Dave because he is such a hilarious person. I had heaps of fun seeing him, and hope I could meet him again.
