Thirteen students who entered a creative-writing competition a few weeks ago are to have their stories published by the Young Writers organisation in a book. This latest challenge was to write a story based on the title ‘Trapped’ — in just 100 words. It is the second time that Ridgeway students’ writing has been selected for publication.
