We recently welcomed two authors to Landau Forte College Derby. Cathy Cassidy spoke to the girls from year 7 and year 8 about her latest book, Broken Heart Club, and her popular series The Chocolate Box Girls. She took questions from the audience and stayed to sign books and chat to students, many of whom were big fans.
We also hosted Dan Smith, who spoke to a select group of year 7 and year 8 boys in the Information Centre. He talked about his amazing life (having lived in the jungles of Indonesia and Brazil) and how this has inspired his stories. He was amazing – he gripped the students with his personality and they were rushing to take his books out of the Information Centre at the end of his session.
