Jacob Worthington
Jacob (aged 10) began writing down his stories during lockdown and amid his prolonged absences from school due to his health condition (Osteogenesis Imperfecta – brittle bone disease).
He showed his stories to his mum and she shared them with some of her friends, who were blown away by his vocabulary and imaginative storylines.
Jacob has dreams of being a famous author and he already has seven more stories ready to share, plus grand ideas for merchandise for his characters.
Despite his many health challenges, Jacob remains a bright and positive young man, who is thrilled that this, his first book, was accepted by his publisher.
