He has been chosen as the best story in the whole school!! Plus he has won £65 worth of books (which he has had to carry around all day...lol) Oh Im so proud; Here's his story Disgust travelled through me. Even the thought of it made me feel unwell. I didnt know what to do. Everyone was watching. I wanted to disappear, but I knew I couldn't. I had to do this. There was nothing else I could do. I ate the sprout!
