Victoria showing reporters some of the eight children's books which she has written since she was nine years old.
The books were published by Future Text Publications Sdn Bhd at the beginning of this year.
A Form One student at Lodge School here, Victoria said writing stories is her hobby.
"I feel good when I'm writing because it helps me express my feelings," she said, adding that it usually takes her a few hours to write a story, depending on inspiration.
She also enjoys reading and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl is one of her favourite books.
As for her published stories, Victoria said about half of them started out as schoolwork while the rest were written in her spare time.
Of the eight books, the one she likes best is The Special Cake, which is about a maid who returns home after working for the Tan family. She bakes two cakes, one for herself and one for the family as a farewell gift. However, she forgets to bring her cake home and the Tans have a surprise when they eat it later.
Victoria, who wants to become a scriptwriter one day, said she is now working on a novel.
"I've written about 20 pages so far. It's about a girl who is kidnapped by a giant and the adventures she has in Giantland," she said.
According to her mother Roselind Wee, Victoria has many ideas which she turn into stories.
Wee, an English lecturer at Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) Sarawak, added that the initial run of 1,000 copies was intended for libraries.
