Dear Sarah and Dave, i think that the site is cool & the activities are fun and that they have a good relivence to the book and i think that the website has fun activities and will encourage young people to read the book. I think other students would enjoy reading the book & adding stuff to the website. it was great having Sarah & the book come to our school. I learnt alot and had a lot of fun.
It was good reading a book that was Pop Fiction, it was a good change from normal books and it was good to work on it.

To Sarah and Dave,

I think the most unreal part of the website will be the games but right now it's the videos. they are really cool and funny to watch. I like the art too but still videos top it.
Pop Fiction books are cool becausethey are more interactive than normal books and make them more attractice. Pop Fiction coming to PHSC is good cause WE got to take part in it. It was fun and we get to appear on a website.
I tink other schools would enjoy it but I would be jealous they got to do it to!!

Dear Sarah and Dave, I tink that the website was really cool It's good because it's a chance for people to be able to go on and really get involved with the book. Sure books are good, but they're even better when you can create something to do with it, and feel a part of it. the people can go on the website and see all the artwork and play the games, then feel encouraged to make something of their own, whatever the are interested in. Whatever it is, drawing, photography, art and craft, it all has a place on the website. It was great fun creating stuff for it, and it's a great prielege to be able to go on the website and see our finished products.

Dear Sarah and Dave, i think that this project has been a great success. It was a very educational experience yet also fun. The general unrealism was caused by the fact that we were having a doco made about us making a website for a already made book. I had heaps of fun doing the personal project and working on the games for the website. Overall it was an amazing experience. And working with you and Shovorn.

Yours Aaron

It was cool to see our work and ideas on the site, and i think other people will read the book because they will want to know what it is about so they understand the games fully. Because Pop Fiction is a website, you can do things related to it, which you can't do with normal books. We got to do fun things that were better than normal class and be phsically involved with some things. It was fun helping create the website and gong places. Other people would definately enjoy making more artwork and games.

To Sarah and Dave and everyone involved in Bumble.com

The site is really cool. I love how you included everyones art work wether it's visual or musical.
I think that because the site is really cool it will encourage people to read the book. Pop Fiction is different from other books because people are able to be part of the book.

Dear Sarah and Dave, we think that everything on the website is very cool. We like the sound effects and how you've put everyones profile on the website. We reckon that the games will be a big success. And that it will definieately encourage others to read the book. And I'm sure others will enjoy making stuff too.

Dear Sarah and Dave,
This site is unreal. it has my horse and me and the hole class which makes it sooo cool.
I think this website will defernatly encourage others to read the book. They will see the cool games and our personal projects and think i have to read this book.
This was a great expereince for all of us. We had lots of fun and if I was to do it again I wouldn't hesertate. Other school children would love to do this

I like the site because it shows all of our hard work and effort that we put in towards bumble.com. I reckon that the games will encourage other people to read the book because sometimes when you play games based on books you don't understand what's happening untill you read the book. The good thing about the project was that it was better than normal work! I reckon that if bumble goes to other schools they will enjoy the project just like we do and when they create the games and other stuff they will enjoy it more. from Paul Glavidis

To Sarah and Dave,
The website is wiked! All the effort has certainly paid off! Well done guys!
The documentary was amazing to watch! The range of fabulous options for artwork and multimedia were great.
The website will definatley motivate and encourage others to want to read the book. It's interesting, and it's fun. Other schools would not only enjoy, but jump at the opportunity to participate in making more artwork and games for the website.
The book and website stands out from just a regular book b/c it makes something usually boring absolutely amazing!

Cheers and well done
