Presented by Ben Shires and Mr Smith from Bitesize, who are joined by comedian and author Humza Arshad in a live Q&A, along with a link-up with the Blue Peter presenters as they prepare for their special World Book Day show later. A whole host of authors also offer their advice. \n\nWe talk about story themes and encourage everyone to find out just how wonderful getting lost in a story really is. We ask viewers to get in touch so we can build a giant word cloud of some of the most popular story themes across the UK.
