Characters leap off the page

Trinity Catholic College year 9 student Evelyn Mosley, 14, dressed as her favourite character ‘‘Tord’’ from Eddsworld with her classmates for ‘‘dress as a book character day’’. The event was part of the annual Trinity Book Week. Evelyn said it took her two hours to get into her costume this morning. Many parts of the costume had come from her mother’s wardrobe. Getting a grey contact into her eye proved difficult, so her mother helped. Teacher Katie Montgomery said the day had doubled as a fundraiser with participants asked to bring a gold coin donation for local foodbanks. Book week had been popular and was aimed at getting students more interested in reading.
