Booked Out often receives feedback on our speakers from teachers and event organisers, but there’s something special about getting students’ impressions directly. Scot Gardner recently visited North Geelong Secondary College’s Year 7s, and the verdict is in: he’s a funny man.

The Voice of the People

Scot’s visit was really funny and he wasn’t talking like old people. He was talking as if he was a kid, which helped me understand him more. My favourite story was when he hit his kid in the head with a paddle because I can relate to that when I was on Grade 6 Camp.

Thank you for coming and sharing your wonderful stories. One of my favourites was about the girl who was playing Duck Duck Goose and then sat on her dog. It does show that not all games are safe. I really enjoyed your stories.

I did enjoy Scot’s visit. It was very humorous and enjoyable. He was an author so he must have, and did have, a good imagination. If the school needs to entertain kids, they should just give Scot a call.

I think Scot Gardner is a funny person. He makes wonderful books and turns stuff from boring to extremely funny. He is my favourite author from now. Thanks!

I enjoyed Scot’s visit very much. He is so funny. I really liked the Grass Seed story because it was really funny. Scot inspired me to write my own Manga.

–Deanna

Scot Gardner was really funny and he was really inspirational and I liked how he could make a story out of anything. Before he came, I wasn’t interested in reading his books, but now I am and they are really interesting. Scot Gardner is really funny. He has great stories and I hope to see him again next year.
