The Great White Man-Eating Shark

Margaret Mahy is one of my favourite authors ever. It is sad to hear that she passed away yesterday but I know that her words and stories will continue to thrill, entertain and inspire people through the years. I imagine her influence will actually grow.

Today we watched the first part of the movie for the super story The Great White Man-Eating Shark. We are writing our own endings as a fun tribute to Margaret Mahy. Already, they are awesome!

  1. Great Post Mr Moriarty. I loved Margaret Mahy . She was a great writer. My favourite book from her was: A busy day for a good Grandmother! What was yours? Could we read A busy Day for a grandmother book in class?

    1. Yes we can, Katrina.

      My favourite is probably Down the Back of the Chair. I almost know it off by heart from reading it to my girls.
