OK, so no one really got going with my last effort for a caption competition, so I’ll scrap it and give you a couple of different options to work with. Here’s a bunch of authors and librarians at Pizza Express after the Oxon & Berks Regional Final of the Kid’s Lit Quiz. Can anyone think of a caption for this one? My offer of a hardback copy of ‘Gone’ by Michael Grant stands. I shall give you until 1st December to come up with a funny caption.
If you can’t think of a caption for that one, how about this one? We had two author teams taking part at Oxford. M.G. Harris, Elizabeth Kay (who made such a gallant rescue attempt earlier in the year) and I took on the knowledge of Lucy Coats Owen, Dennis Hamley, Susie Day and Julia Golding … and thirty one teams of bright young people. Four brains against three, proved just a little too much for us and Lucy’s team pipped us by a couple of points. It seems the normally mild-mannered M.G. Harris doesn’t take kindly to being beaten as the following photo will attest …
Post a caption for either photo (clean language only, please!) for a chance to win.

Sure you can, M.G. Anyone can enter. In fact, I’d be quite intrigued to see your caption!!

“Quick, lets all point away from the oddly bright ball of light to really confuse everyone!”
(Obviously I don’t need the book, which incidentally I’m half way through. Fantastic book, brilliant idea for a story)

For the first picture:
‘Good grief, it’s true! Mark Robson can fly!’
‘Oh yeh! And would you believe it? The sun really does shine out of his backside!’

I have to say MG’s is my favourite. Succinct, to the point, and scarily accurate… (although it was nice for my luminobe to get a mention!).
