In my last post, I talked about my own World Book Day experiences. But while I was out on school visits, lots of you were making amazing contributions to the Wells & Wong cause – and I was so impressed with your efforts that I felt you deserved your own post.

This is the first World Book Day since Murder Most Unladylike was published – but it never occurred to me that some of you might choose to dress as Hazel and Daisy. I still have such a strong sense of them as characters in my head that it’s amazing to remember that they are in yours as well – and it’s been powerfully weird to see them take shape as actual walking, talking human beings.

So, here’s a fantastic gallery of your WBD efforts. Hazel and Daisy are real!
