Reading Group – Louie Stowell

  By
Year 7’s from Mrs Sergeant’s reading group were treated to a fantastic session with Louie Stowell, author of the bestselling Loki books yesterday morning! The students thoroughly enjoyed it asking her some really tricky questions!

 

She emailed afterwards saying ‘Lovely to chat to the pupils! And VERY impressed with Jackson who spotted something I hadn’t fleshed out properly. If I go into that in a following book I will credit them! ‘

 

She finished the session introducing them to her dog Buffy!
