WIN DASTARDLY PRIZES

Create your own super-villain and write a short story about them!

H.I.V.E. (Higher Institute of Villainous Education) by Mark Walden is set in a school where the pupils are trained to be as villainous as possible. Otto Malpense, our anti-hero, is a natural and about to give the school a run for its money.

Who wouldn't want to be a villain? They get the best lines, the smartest costumes and come up with the grandest plans for world domination. You've only got to look at classic villains such as Count Olaf, Mrs Coulter and Lord Voldemort to see how wonderfully wicked they can be.

Here is your chance to create a villain of your own. We're looking for the sharpest young minds to create a wickedly fantastic villain and then write a short story about their dastardly creation. So put on your cloak, twirl your moustache and get planning!
