Lovely day out in West Yorkshire today, courtesy of the Pageturners Children’s Book Festival. The organisers lined up two schools for me to visit – first stop, Shelley College, near Huddersfield, in the morning, then off to Rishworth School, near Halifax, in the afternoon, where I
talked about my work, gave readings from Never Ending and answered questions.

The Q&As were particularly enjoyable, with some really good, interesting questions from both sets of students. This is the inaugural Pageturners, which is run by librarians in Kirklees and Calderdale and forms the children’s ‘wing’ of the Huddersfield Literature Festival.
