Pippa Goodhart author visit

Today we had a visit from the children's author Pippa Goodhart. Pippa is famous for several books including You Choose, the Winnie the Witch series and Raven Boy. She spent the morning working with children in Reception and Nursery and then the afternoon working in Years 1 and 2.

After Pippa had worked with all the classes, our School Reading Council interviewed her. They enjoyed asking her lots of questions about her books and her life as an author. She answered their questions in great detail.

    

Finally, Pippa went back to Mr Allen's classroom to sell and sign some of her books. Lots of excited children and parents turned up! Everybody had a wonderful day. Thank you Pippa.

Gracie, one of our School Reading Council has reviewed Pippa's book Raven Boy: This is the most amazingly different book I have ever read. It's so interesting and it pulls you right in to the book. I really felt empathy for Nick having to leave his sister behind. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys books set in the past.
