George Thompson's Special Book

When George Thompson was seven and a quarter, he had a Special Book. George also referred to it as his "buk".

his Mum gave him the book and pencils so George could write down some of the things he has thought about and seen. He used it to write about things he liked — such as spaceships, robots, Spiderman, and "X Facters" — as well as the things that scared him. He detailed his belief that Mrs Rossiter was a witch, the creature he believed lived in his walls like the snake in Harry Potter, his dressing gown, and the peg dolls, and how anything that scared him was put inside his cupboard, as an arrangement between him and his Mum.
