World Book Day, Thursday 5th March, fast approaches, and exciting plans are afoot up and down the country. I’m going to be visiting JAPS in Dulwich in the morning, and at half past three I’ll be taking tea at Village Books Dulwich – if you’re interested in joining me, please visit Village Books’ website to get the free ticket you’ll need.
I’m busily planning lots of Wells & Wong goodness – and from some emails I’ve received, it sounds like I’m not the only one. Readers have been in contact asking for help with dressing as Daisy & Hazel, and I’ve been very excited and happy to oblige them.
So, would you like to dress as a member of the Detective Society this World Book Day? Here’s how!
– The Deepdean uniform is grey. Daisy & Hazel wear white shirts, grey pinafores and ties (though any sort of grey school uniform with a tie will do). If you want to be really completist, their house colours are green and blue – so their ties should be green and blue as well.
– Thanks to my agent, Deepdean has a crest – please see the picture to the right!
– Both Daisy and Hazel might carry magnifying glasses. They certainly carry school books, and Hazel is never without her casebook and pencil!
– Daisy’s hair is blonde and wavy, done up in two pigtails.
– Hazel’s hair is long, black and straight, in one long braid.
And that’s it! You now have all you need to become a member of the Detective Society. The really important thing to remember is that you don’t have to look anything like either of the girls to dress as them. World Book Day is all about imagination, and you’re allowed to imagine being Daisy or Hazel no matter what the outside of you is like.
Whoever you choose to dress as, I hope you have a wonderful World Book Day 2015! And if you do dress as one of my detectives, please send me the evidence!
