Eve Wins Top Prize for ‘Zora and the Star Thieves’ and Meets Her Literary Hero

We are thrilled to celebrate the amazing achievement of our very own Eve, who won the 8-11 top prize at the prestigious Herne Hill Literary Festival! Eve’s fantastic story, Zora and the Star Thieves, captured the judges’ imaginations and secured her the top spot in the competition.

Eve was overjoyed to meet acclaimed author Robin Stevens, best known for the Murder Most Ladylike series, and is pictured here with her award. She described the experience as “inspiring” and loved chatting about writing with one of her literary heroes.

A huge well done as well to our other talented Hamleteers who placed in the competition – Fyn, Eve’s brother, along with Aoife and Beatrix from Year 3. Their creative stories impressed the judges and showcased the fantastic writing talent we have at our school.

We are incredibly proud of all our young writers—keep dreaming big and telling your wonderful stories!
