The children really embraced the opportunity to ask questions about how his career began, where he got the ideas for his books and what achievements he had had during his time as an author.

Gareth had the children sharing ideas for sequels to his novels, making inferences based on his picture books and even joining in with songs inspired by his books.

We would like to thank Kingsdown School for inviting us to take part in this event.

Kind Regards,

Jen Pound
