Lynley uses Hairy Maclary in most of her stories. But she uses other characters as well not just Hairy Maclary.
The setting is in the neighbour hood / home.
The problems in most of her books are sad problems but sometimes they are happy and enthusiastic.
Lynley's endings are are mostly happy :) but sometimes they are sad :( endings.
She doesn't use much similes she only uses similes sometimes! But she uses exaggerations. Rhyme and repition as well !!!!!!
My feelings when i was reading the three books she wrote i was feeling happy :) and not down because it is not sad .

Margaret loves to write books so much she is now working in a childrens library in Christchurch.

Margaret being the oldest of a family of five is maybe why family life dominates most of her stories.

Margarets settings are different and her problems are unusual.
I like her so I hope you like her to.

Margaret Mahy by Molly-Rose
Margaret Mahy is a an author that writes both picture books and chapter books.
Most of her books have a happy ending and they always have a problem. Margaret wrote her first story just at the age of 7.

THE LIFE OF A GUITAR.
Owww! my ears hurt so much!
Ewww yuck dirty hands.
The stench of them is so bad.
I hate my life I hate it!
When I get left out in the day I get left out in the day I get burnt!
And I hate my brown dull outfit I want a new one!
When people strum my strings it ache’s so bad.
Especially when they use picks!!!!
And the noise when they play.
I’m right up close they need better lessons!!
I’m so tired at the end of the day so I need a big sleep but
when I get up in the morning it just starts all over again!!
And another thing my owner Sammy the sprinkler.
When he sings he spits all over me!
Being a guitar is not easy not easy not one little bit!

Tissue Box by James
I feel lonely most of the time.
Just sitting there all day.
I have an oval mouth, plastic lips, a very white tongue and a rectangle body.
I really despair the days that someone has a runny nose.
I just HATE it when I have to clean up other peoples mess with my tongue.
My tongue is very fragile but it regrows instantly.
But just so you know I do have a limit of tongues.
I am a tissue box.

Tissue Box
I feel so empty like nobody cares or wants me anymore.
My clothes that I wear everyday are still good I just don’t know what’s wrong.My uniform is old and I’m sick of it.
I lose lots of weight but my rectangular body doesn’t change.
I’m being pulled at from every direction.
It’s just to hard being a tissue box.

Now I have the flu, I'm sick I don't like you.
My body is squished, Now I'm gone.
