School Visits and lots of Wonderful.

The end of September and all October is always a busy time with school and library visits. Tomorrow I’m starting off with the first of my visits with the Stockport Schools Library Service where I’ll be visiting a school (not sure which one yet) and then talking to a group of teachers.

On Wednesday I’m returning to Boundary School in Blackpool where I’ll be working with year two to write some stories – then on Thursday I’m off to visit St Barnabas and St Pauls CE Primary School in Blackburn… more about all this later.

I’ve had some great, wonderful and a little not so wonderful news from the Lancashire Schools Library Service… The great and wonderful news is that Robo-runners Book 1 The Tin Man, is up for the Fantastic Book Award and is very popular – This of course is fantastic. The not so wonderful news is that they are having trouble getting enough copies of the book for everyone to read – and the hardback is now out of print (the paperback doesn’t come out until January). Today I’m going to give the wonderful people at Hodder Children’s Books a call to see if they can help.

Thank you for coming to Warren Wood Primary today. We all enjoyed your lively talk about the stories you have written. We particularly liked the way you made them come alive in our school hall. Hopefully we will be inspired when do our story writing later in the term.
Please come back again to see the rest of the school!
