We thoroughly enjoyed Matt's author visit. The session was engaging, inspiring, and captured the students' interest from beginning to end. Matt connected wonderfully with the children, encouraging their imagination and enthusiasm for reading and writing.
Our students left feeling motivated and excited to explore new books and create their own stories. Thank you, Matt, for sharing your passion, creativity, and time with us. It was a memorable experience that has had a lasting positive impact on everyone involved.

We loved having Alice for the day at Moss Bury. She was positive, inspiring and extremely engaging for the children and they left the sessions with a strong sense of aspirational possibility for exploring writing as a career.
The sessions were well organised, well resourced and Alice was a pleasure to communicate with leading up to the event and throughout the day itself. Strong recommend!

Matt was both an entertaining and inspirational speaker at our Schools Library Service 'Boys into Books' event at a local football hub. The upper primary and Year 7 and 8 boys were super engaged throughout the session and had their (already great!) soccer knowledge tested to the limit. Matt was a pleasure to work with and I would heartily recommend him to kick off excitement about all types of reading.

Absolutely amazing! Puneet kept the children engaged the whole time, they had opportunities to ask lots of questions and they thoroughly enjoyed the Bollywood dancing. The children are very much looking forward to reading Puneet’s books

Ken provided engaging activities which students enjoyed taking part in. He was a hit with many of our students - some of whom asked if he would come back the next day! Activities were suitable for Years 7 through to Year 9.
Overall, the students had a productive day working with Ken. Thank you.

Our visit from Tim was fantastic, he was engaging and allowed the children to ask many questions. His PowerPoint was appropriately targeted to their age range and the children thoroughly enjoyed the workshop, especially the puzzles. The only thing I’d say for the future is to allow more time for the writing part of the workshop! The children didn’t want to stop but unfortunately they ran out of time. They could take these home to continue but it would be great to have more time in the workshop.

Kimberly came into school to do her author visit, all went well and we are really happy with the visit. The children were all engaged and very positive about the whole process. Kimberly was professional throughout and really engaging with the children. We will defiantly be having her back in the future.

Siski’s visit was truly fantastic from start to finish. The children were completely engaged and inspired by the perfect blend of real-life nature learning, humour and storytelling. It was such a memorable experience for them, they were buzzing with excitement afterwards and continued talking about it long after the day. A brilliant, enriching experience that brought learning to life.

Daniel was amazing and made the Shakespeare talk very relatable to the audience. He was charming and very friendly and answered all the audience's questions. He compared Shakespeare films with Shakespeare on stage and compared it to story lines in gangster films which were very similar but with different language. Daniel also showed us films from different decades and the differences. He was an amazing author with lots of knowledge and would love to have him back in the future.
