what teachers say...
"Thank-you so much for coming to speak to our year 4 and year 5 students about your books and life as an author. Your reading from the first book in the “Ragnor Trilogy” was very engaging and the children were left very keen to borrow your books to read on. The children loved the creative writing session with the gems and produced some great work. Your question and answer session was very meaningful and informative and you left a real impression with the students ."
