Testimonials:
"I just wanted to thank you for so inspiring the children last week. We’ve had so much positive feedback…. I asked a year 5 class today how they felt and the responses were lovely. They liked your photographs and what you said about the research. One boy said he’d liked the pictures of you jumping for sheer joy. Another girl said she’d been given a scrapbook some time ago but not used it and at the weekend, she dug it out and has started to stick things in it. Several mentioned the scrapbooks and your note books. They’re enjoying working on their creatures. Several (girls and boys) mentioned they’d started their own book at home. Another mentioned that she’d talked to you about how to start a story and she now felt able to start writing."

"The girls found the session thought-provoking and particularly enjoyed the creative element where they thought about their own character. Many of the girls have been inspired the read the novels and it's been a great way to engage them with both reading and writing fiction."
