# Wanted! Amazing Authors

  ![Image of Wanted! Amazing Authors](https://files.schudio.com/alston-moor-federation-2/images/blog/Wanted_book.jpeg)  5 November 2026   [J Sutterby](https://alstonmoorfederation.org.uk/blog/author/jsutterby)   [Key Stage 3 Learning](https://alstonmoorfederation.org.uk/blog/category/key-stage-3-learning)

We were so excited to receive a very special delivery yesterday - two copies of the *'SOS Sagas: Wanted'* collection of short stories. But this isn't your regular book of short stories, as 24 of them were written by SKS students.

During the summer term in their English lessons, students across Years 8, 9 and 10 attempted to write an engaging, yet concise 100 word story on the theme of Wanted. Those students whose stories were eventually published within the book met all of the entry criteria, and received permission from parents and guardians to be included.

Mrs Hinkley and I are so very proud of our creative and talented young writers, and can't wait to read all the spooky ghost stories that are being penned in school this week!
