What an exciting day everyone had on Thursday, 10th July! The acclaimed children’s author Joseph Delaney spent the morning with students telling us all about the inspiration for his books and just how he manages to write them. At the end of the session he kindly signed copies all of his books and gave students all kinds of advice. There are still a few copies left – so hurry and buy your signed book now!

=============================================
On 10th July the author Joseph Delaney will be visiting!!! Come and meet him and buy a signed copy of any of his books!!!

Joseph Delaney is fast becoming the successor to the hallowed crown of what to read after JK!
Warning: Not to be read after dark !
To celebrate this great event there are 2 competitions:
