Hello from Birmingham Library, where CBBC is having a weekend	:00:20.	:00:22.
This is Europe's largest public library, with nearly	:00:23.	:00:26.
So, the perfect venue for loads of top authors and CBBC stars.	:00:27.	:00:38.
One of yesterday's star attractions was Hetty Feather writer	:00:39.	:00:41.
Jacqueline Wilson, and she gave me a Newsround	:00:42.	:00:42.
I've just started writing a book about evacuees.	:00:43.	:00:46.
It hasn't got a title yet but I've been talking to	:00:47.	:00:49.
children and nearly all children in year five or six learn about	:00:50.	:00:52.
evacuees, and I did think how lovely it would be if this story	:00:53.	:00:55.
could become a kind of series, like Hetty Feather.	:00:56.	:00:57.
I have a girl called Shirley and she has been evacuated with two	:00:58.	:01:00.
boys that she doesn't like very much at the moment.	:01:01.	:01:03.
One called Kevin and one called Archie.	:01:04.	:01:05.
They are all kids from London and they're sent out to	:01:06.	:01:07.
My children have just arrived in this strange place.	:01:08.	:01:11.
They don't like the look of the people	:01:12.	:01:15.
They are a bit scared but they're going to	:01:16.	:01:18.
Now something else that's very exciting -	:01:19.	:01:22.
there's a world record attempt going on right now, down	:01:23.	:01:24.
in Centenary Square - and Martin is there for us.	:01:25.	:01:27.
Hello, you are joining me at CBBC HQ down here. Something visually	:01:28.	:01:30.
amazing is happening. We even have some of the CBBC Genio Withers.	:01:31.	:01:33.
Welcome to the wall of words. All this weekend in Birmingham, you	:01:34.	:01:35.

to you, Jenny. Now this isn't a world record	:03:00.	:03:05.
attempt but we've been experimenting with storytelling, with the help	:03:06.	:03:08.
of some famous faces. We got some of the top authors	:03:09.	:03:10.
here to start and continue a story - they could be	:03:11.	:03:13.
as creative as they want. It started with a bang and anyhow	:03:14.	:03:23.
sell down. Luckily, they were in the garden at the time telling you where	:03:24.	:03:26.
Joseph was. Luckily, he had got it on camera. But the problem was, the	:03:27.	:03:32.
little gibbons stole the film. What do they do next? They give Barnes	:03:33.	:03:38.
set off through the tree tops of London. There was only one thing to	:03:39.	:03:41.
Joseph to do, is Father's microlight. Yama quite what Joseph	:03:42.	:03:47.
did not know is as he prepared his microlight, he was being avidly	:03:48.	:03:52.
watched by eight I is, staring at him out of a spacecraft which was	:03:53.	:03:56.
pouring out of London. Getting closer, second by second. Suddenly,	:03:57.	:04:04.
with a crash and a ban, the spaceship showed a light beam onto	:04:05.	:04:09.
the microlight. That ban. He had never seen this before, so legion	:04:10.	:04:16.
around, at his dog caper to help him and he said yes. -- Kipper. The lack	:04:17.	:04:22.
Kipper said, what we need to do is substitute the given for ourselves.	:04:23.	:04:31.
-- gibbon. To hear the end of the story	:04:32.	:04:37.
you have to wait no longer, because here to give it an awesome	:04:38.	:04:40.
ending is The Astounding Broccoli Boy writer,	:04:41.	:04:43.
Frank Cottrell Boyce. Frank,	:04:44.	:04:44.
how will this end? The spaceship opened and Joseph	:04:45.	:04:48.
noticed it was full of space gibbons. They told him to come	:04:49.	:04:51.
aboard because he was the star of their favourite TV show, Family	:04:52.	:04:58.
Falling Down With The Clothes In The Garden. Amazing.	:04:59.	:05:02.
