Guest blog: Twins A and C come to Little Island

Things were getting busy here at Little Island, and we were lucky enough to convince two transition year girls - smart, articulate ones at that - to come and work for us for a week. Each day for the next week, Amy and Christie - I mean, Twin A and Twin C, of course - will be talking about what they're working on and how their day as junior publishers/editors went.

 


Day 1: As recorded by Twins A and CAmy

(Twin B is now a crime fighting robot in Japan, long story. She might give her input on a few things.).
 
Twin A: Didn’t want to be left behind so got up in time to head up to Dublin. Drank cheap coffee at a petrol station, but no food till my first bourbon biscuit at Siobhan’s – thank you Roger. Busy day reading and tidying. Met the other parts of Little Island, all good.
 
 

 

ChristieTwin C:  Woke up too early (0730 hours) and was met with the realisation that work was needed to fit the laptop into suitcase. Issue resolved itself with fun packing. We arrived at Siobhan’s house 1030 hours, in time for biscuits and coffee (went without customary 8-20 spoons of sugar for sake of normalcy, may not have worked). 

Went to Little Island in Dundrum and met Elaina, she had AWESOME book covers!  Then we caught the Luas back to Siobhán’s house and discovered one of the Little Island books from the winter list. READ THE BOOK TOO QUICKLY (Note to self and people reading this: do not read at 13 pages a minute, it looks odd). ‘Twas a great book, wish I had a big brother like Kev, one of the characters. Spent remainder of day beginning to organise books (the first stage of order is chaos, honest!).
