:00:20. > :00:22.Hello from Birmingham Library, where CBBC is having a weekend
:00:23. > :00:26.This is Europe's largest public library, with nearly
:00:27. > :00:38.So, the perfect venue for loads of top authors and CBBC stars.
:00:39. > :00:41.One of yesterday's star attractions was Hetty Feather writer
:00:42. > :00:42.Jacqueline Wilson, and she gave me a Newsround
:00:43. > :00:46.I've just started writing a book about evacuees.
:00:47. > :00:49.It hasn't got a title yet but I've been talking to
:00:50. > :00:52.children and nearly all children in year five or six learn about
:00:53. > :00:55.evacuees, and I did think how lovely it would be if this story
:00:56. > :00:57.could become a kind of series, like Hetty Feather.
:00:58. > :01:00.I have a girl called Shirley and she has been evacuated with two
:01:01. > :01:03.boys that she doesn't like very much at the moment.
:01:04. > :01:05.One called Kevin and one called Archie.
:01:06. > :01:07.They are all kids from London and they're sent out to
:01:08. > :01:11.My children have just arrived in this strange place.
:01:12. > :01:15.They don't like the look of the people
:01:16. > :01:18.They are a bit scared but they're going to
:01:19. > :01:22.Now something else that's very exciting -
:01:23. > :01:24.there's a world record attempt going on right now, down
:01:25. > :01:27.in Centenary Square - and Martin is there for us.

:03:06. > :03:08.attempt but we've been experimenting with storytelling, with the help
:03:09. > :03:10.of some famous faces. We got some of the top authors
:03:11. > :03:13.here to start and continue a story - they could be
:03:14. > :03:23.as creative as they want. It started with a bang and anyhow
:03:24. > :03:26.sell down. Luckily, they were in the garden at the time telling you where
:03:27. > :03:32.Joseph was. Luckily, he had got it on camera. But the problem was, the
:03:33. > :03:38.little gibbons stole the film. What do they do next? They give Barnes
:03:39. > :03:41.set off through the tree tops of London. There was only one thing to
:03:42. > :03:47.Joseph to do, is Father's microlight. Yama quite what Joseph
:03:48. > :03:52.did not know is as he prepared his microlight, he was being avidly
:03:53. > :03:56.watched by eight I is, staring at him out of a spacecraft which was
:03:57. > :04:04.pouring out of London. Getting closer, second by second. Suddenly,
:04:05. > :04:09.with a crash and a ban, the spaceship showed a light beam onto
:04:10. > :04:16.the microlight. That ban. He had never seen this before, so legion
:04:17. > :04:22.around, at his dog caper to help him and he said yes. -- Kipper. The lack
:04:23. > :04:31.Kipper said, what we need to do is substitute the given for ourselves.
:04:32. > :04:37.-- gibbon. To hear the end of the story

:04:41. > :04:43.ending is The Astounding Broccoli Boy writer,
:04:44. > :04:44.Frank Cottrell Boyce. Frank,
:04:45. > :04:48.how will this end? The spaceship opened and Joseph
:04:49. > :04:51.noticed it was full of space gibbons. They told him to come
:04:52. > :04:58.aboard because he was the star of their favourite TV show, Family
