Teenage Author challenges JK Rowling

The 19-year-old started writing The Eyes of a King when she was 14 after being inspired by CS Lewis' The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.
Her story is based on teenager Leo North who lives in the magical world of Malonia and discovers a blank book which leads him to the strange world of Earth.
Much feted, Miss Banner's book has just been published by Random House and many say it will be as popular as the Harry Potter books.
Her editor Lauren Buckland warned: "She may even take on JK Rowling."
Describing her desire to write, Miss Banner said: "When I was little one of my favourite games was to staple together sheets of paper and make them into a book with stories and pictures, and later I spent hours after school writing stories.
"I was at school when I was working on The Eyes of a King, so I wrote in any available time I had - sometimes I was even noting down a few sentences at the back of the class or in between lessons so as not to forget them.
"I think that was a good way to learn to write; it means everything you put down on paper has to be thought out first."
Miss Banner left school last year with straight As in her exams and is starting at Cambridge University in the autumn.
During her gap year she wrote the second part of the trilogy and is turning her attention to the final instalment.
"I don't work to a set routine," she said. "I write best late at night and redraft best in the mornings so it depends what stage a story is at.
"It was sometimes a challenge to balance writing with my other commitments, but I don't think you are ever too young to start writing if you have a story you want to tell."
