A pupil in Year 6 at Castle Mead School in Trowbridge is thrilled by the reception he has had to his first book.

Arin Shetty has been dazzled by the concept of people engaging with his work.

Speaking to BBC Radio Wiltshire, he said: “I like that people are reading it, and it’s quite inspiring so other people can start doing it.

"I’ve already got so many plans for the second book but I’m not going to start writing it for a month or two.”

His first book, titled ‘AcornMan: Keneko’s plan’ is available to buy from Amazon in Kindle, Hardcover and Paperback versions.

Mrs Emma Larkham, headteacher at Castle Mead School, said of Arin: “It is such an amazing achievement and has been widely recognised. Nine children in Arin’s class are writing books at home now as a direct result of this!”

Castle Mead School is part of a multi academy trust with schools in Trowbridge and Melksham.

Mrs Lyssy Bolton, CEO of the Trust, said: “Arin represents the school and the reading culture at Castle Mead so very well. Thank you to all of the staff at school for inspiring his confidence to write and his motivation to give back to the school community.”

Arin has said that any profits he makes from the sale of his book will be donated to the school so that they can buy more books. Anyone wanting to get their hands on a copy, can find it here on the Amazon website.
