Jaiyanth Bilahari Babu, 9, is a student of ACS Primary (Barker), an avid reader, he loves to play video games (but is careful to limit his screentime, of course). He was 8 when he wrote ‘Into The Game’ and enjoys creating imaginative stories, which he shares with his family.

I have really enjoyed taking part in the Young Author Awards competition. I am usually coming up with crazy fantasy stories at home, to make my family members laugh. This Awards competition has now let me share such a story with everyone – hopefully people enjoy reading it as much as I have enjoyed writing it. I think it’s really great that the Young Author Scheme is there to help young authors become better writers and to also achieve dreams of publication. I also discovered the Young Author newsletters ‘SINFUL’, which were very fun and interesting to read. Thank you!
