Lyndale Secondary School students put their creative energies to the test as part of the Write a Book in a Day national competition.

Seven teams of up to 10 students wrote and illustrated their books within 12 hours on Wednesday 14 September.

Their books will be made available online for kids in hospitals across Australia.

The competition raises funds for kids’ cancer research.
