I'd like to say a huge THANK YOU to the brilliant librarian Jennifer Ong and the fantastic booksellers of Waterstones Chiswick for organising my first school visit of the year – and to all the children and teachers at Ark Byron and Ark Priory Primary Academies for the wonderful welcome they gave me when I visited them last week!
I had the pleasure of talking to Years 6, 5 and 4 in both schools about reading and writing and books. It was amazing to see that a lot of them had already read one or more of my books, from Varjak Paw to Tyger. They were clearly fantastic readers, and I was very impressed at the range of reading they had done - a tribute to the work of their wonderful school librarian!
It was such an inspiring thing for a writer to see so much enthusiasm for books – and there were many more questions than we had time to answer on the day. So if anyone who was at the visit has a question they would still like to ask, just leave me a comment below!
It was also a total pleasure to sign books for everyone who had ordered one, via the brilliant Waterstones booksellers. So thank you to them again for organising this visit – and HAPPY READING to everyone at Ark Byron and Ark Priory!
