I have to disagree with you there. Goople is NOT always right. Sometimes REALLY REALLY famous people (like me) don’t come up on internet searches … and I’ve done WAY more important things than you. No offence. Your list does sound pretty great, but you have to remember that I’ve discovered real Ancient Egyptian mummies in the playground. I invented a whole new language called Tiidhewoiunsdmnbfdkfghlakjujujuajhsdkfyyyekkjha that is now widely spoken on the High Seas and at a number of vegetarian restaurants. I even developed a brand-new source of renewable energy that only requires four toilet rolls, a hot water bottle and a pelican. And that’s just to name a few amazing things I’ve done … there’s obviously HEAPS more. So, you would definitely expect my name to come up heaps on Goople, but no. Instead you get some South African cricketer, a toenail doctor and finally a lawyer who, according to his website, likes walking his German shepherd, eating spaghetti and won’t take NO for an answer … which could get very annoying. FINALLY, buried down the bottom of the searches, is an article from the local newspaper about the time I broke a sewer pipe and flooded the school with poo and that’s actually fake news and not even the truth (well partly, but not totally).
The point is, just because Goople doesn’t know Kitty and Noel Templestein doesn’t mean they’re not awesome. I for one am very excited they are coming to the school for Book Week. I love author visits. Since you’re not that into them, I’ve had an idea … How about I do the introduction and handle the microphone and all the other cool stuff for the author visit?

Jimmy Cook (not the cricket player, or the foot doctor, and especially not the spaghetti-eating lawyer)
